The time it takes to complete a reference check can vary depending on how quickly your referees respond.

Here’s what to expect:

• Initial request
  Once you provide your referee details, the system will send them a secure email or SMS invitation to complete the reference check.
  
  
• Referee response time
  Some referees respond within a day or two, while others may take longer. Automatic reminders are sent to help keep the process moving.
  
  
• Typical timeframe
  Most reference checks are completed within 3–5 business days, but it can take longer if referees are unavailable or slow to respond.
  
  
• Delays
  If a referee hasn’t responded, you may be asked to provide updated contact details or nominate another referee.
  
  

By choosing referees who are aware of the request and have up-to-date contact details, you can help speed up the process.
