Your privacy is an important part of the reference check process. Employers and referees must handle your information carefully and in line with privacy laws.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Your consent comes first
  Employers cannot contact referees without your permission. You choose and approve who can be contacted.
  
  
• Secure process
  Reference checks completed through WorkPro are managed in a secure system. Referee responses are collected directly, without being shared outside the platform.
  
  
• Limited access
  Only the hiring team handling your application can view your referee responses. They are not shared publicly.
  
  
• Fraud and integrity checks
  Behind the scenes, WorkPro uses tools such as IP fraud detection matching to confirm referee responses are genuine, helping protect your information.
  
  
• Data protection
  Employers are responsible for keeping reference reports confidential and using them only for hiring decisions.
  
  

If you have concerns about privacy, you can speak with the hiring team to understand how your reference information will be stored, accessed, and used.
