Employment reference checks that confirm career claims

Employment references verify previous work experience and confirm what a candidate has told you about their career.

Ad-hoc references are slow, inconsistent and easy to forget. HirePass asks every referee the same questions and tracks each request until it is back.

What's verified

  • Previous employers and job titles
  • Dates of employment
  • Reasons for leaving
  • Employment history through HMRC, instantly
  • The 2 most recent employments in the Growth package

Employment references check questions

How long do employment checks take?

Employment history checks through HMRC are instant. Employer references take 3 days on average, and you can follow each one in the HirePass Platform until it is back.

Do I need to chase referees myself?

No. HirePass sends a consistent request to every referee and tracks each one until it comes back, with progress visible in the HirePass Platform.
