If a referee declines a reference check, are we alerted, so we can send a new request? :

A referee has the right to decline to provide a reference.

This is done by the referee following the link sent to them, selecting 'decline' and then providing a reason.

Only you receive an email that the referee has declined the check, and can send a new request for a new referee to the candidate. The candidate does not see the decline reason, and the referee is advised this during the decline step.

Here is a sample of the email:
