Employers use reference checks to confirm details about your work history and to learn more about your skills, experience, and approach to work. They are a standard part of the hiring process and help employers make informed decisions.

During a reference check, your nominated referees may be asked questions such as:

• How long you worked together and in what capacity
• The type of work you performed and your key responsibilities
• Your strengths and areas for development
• How you work with others, meet deadlines, and handle challenges

Reference checks are not designed to “catch you out.” Instead, they give employers a fuller picture of your professional background and help them ensure the role is the right fit for both you and the organisation.

WorkPro’s system makes this process straightforward and secure by allowing referees to respond digitally and directly.
