“Wait, it’s all FREE? Why? How do you make money on it? What’s the catch?!”


That’s right, the whole process is free! There are a couple of paid extras (listed below) that you can use, but by no means are required to use our Reference Checking system. We developed this system for in-house use due to the hassle of collecting references – it can be a real pain! Since it’s already been made, we wanted to put it out there for you and your organisation to help make life a little easier!
