Confidentiality is an important part of the reference check process. Both your information and the feedback provided by your referees are handled with care.


Here’s what you should know:

  • Secure process
    Reference checks are completed through a secure system. Referee responses are submitted directly and are not shared publicly.

  • Who can see the responses
    Only the employer or recruiter managing your application can view your reference check results.

  • Referee confidentiality
    Referees are encouraged to provide honest feedback, knowing their responses will be kept private and only used to support the hiring decision.

  • Your rights
    You have the right to know that reference checks are being conducted, but you may not always see the referee’s exact comments unless the employer chooses to share them.

Employers are responsible for protecting both your information and your referees’ feedback. This helps ensure the process remains fair, respectful, and professional.
