What our customers say
Joakim Karlsson
Recruiting Manager, Lernia
We have used Refapp for a couple of years, and the tool is now a natural part of our recruitment process at Lernia. Previously, we spent several hours a day struggling to get a hold of referees. Today, we usually have responses within 24 hours. Implementing Refapp has increased our internal efficiency and enabled us to provide feedback to our candidates quicker.
At Jerrie & Maquire, we use Refapp to digitalise our reference checking process. The tool helps us become even more efficient, and it is easier to get in touch with referees, even internationally. The referees appreciate the possibility of being able to provide their answers in writing or by a phone call at an agreed time. Our customers also appreciate the structured and professional report.

Work professionally – Save time
Avoid homemade templates and unnecessary manual work. Use a professional reference checking tool instead! With Refapp, you will save valuable time otherwise spent chasing referees.
Easy, yet powerful
Personalized emails and/or text messages gather information about your candidate, without any subjective judgment. Our cloud-based solution gives you full access at all times!
Choose when and how to answer
Referees can answer when and how it suits them best. Either by phone, tablet or computer. The referee can also use Refapp’s calendar-booking feature to schedule a phone call instead.
Integrate Refapp with your ATS
With our integrations, it is easy to initiate and manage your reference checks within your existing HR software.
GDPR-compliant
With Refapp you can feel safe. All information is stored encrypted with the highest security. The information is automatically deleted after a given time.
INCREASED RELIABILITY & VALIDITY
Structured and standardised reference checking removes cognitive bias and increases reliability and validity of the reference check.
SIMPLIFIES DECISION MAKING
More references increase reliability. Refapp's reference report presents the answers in a structured way that facilitates decision-making.
Employer Brand
Professional and smooth communication with referees and customers positively affects your Employer Brand.
TRANSPARENCY
Do you remember the whispering game? Through digital reference checking, the recruiter does not distort the referee’s answers. Research has shown that with intuitive interpretation, you lose 50% of the predictive precision compared to mechanical interpretation.
Non-discriminatory
During a traditional reference check, the recruiter’s gut feeling can influence what questions he or she asks the candidate. This approach poses a risk of discriminatory questions.
