Run an employment reference check as simple as 1, 2, 3
We’ve taken the pain out of reference checks. Our employment reference checks help companies across Australia and New Zealand become more efficient.
1. Select your reference type: digital or phone
If you opt for a digital reference check, referees complete a customisable online questionnaire. In a phone reference check, referees are interviewed by Certn’s verifications team.
2. Request the background screening
Your candidate will be asked to consent to the screening and provide 1-3 references for our team to interview.
3. We generate a detailed report
The detailed report will be available with other background check results. We provide real-time status updates on the progress while you wait.

FAQs
An employment reference check is usually the final stage of the interview process.

This is done by asking your candidate’s referees a series of questions by email or phone.
Employers will get a copy of the employment reference check questionnaire results in the background screening report that’s posted to their Certn dashboard.
All that’s needed to run an employment reference check is the candidate’s name and email address or phone number.
Candidates will be asked to consent to the check and supply referee details as part of their background check.
Yes, our employment reference checks can be used to contact referees globally. However, please keep in mind that international checks may take longer.
