HOW REFERENCES WORK

How professional references work.

From sending a request to receiving and sharing a completed reference, follow each stage online.

STEP 01
Selected

Request a reference

Sign in or create a OneReference account, then start a request as an individual or through your organisation's workspace.

STEP 02

Candidate reviews

The request is sent to the candidate first to review and confirm their details before it reaches the referee.

STEP 03

Referee completes

The referee receives a secure invitation by email or SMS and completes the reference without needing an account.

STEP 04

Reference delivered

An organisation-requested reference goes to that organisation. An individual-requested reference goes into the individual's Reference Vault.

STEP 05

Share when needed

Individuals control when to share their Vault references with permitted organisations.

Clear boundaries: An organisation-requested reference is delivered to the requesting organisation. An individual-requested reference is kept in the candidate's Reference Vault for candidate-controlled sharing.

work, in one place.
