VerifyRef automates reference checks by sending questionnaires, collecting responses, and producing AI sentiment analysis. A reference-check credit covers one candidate with up to five references, analysis, and PDF or CSV exports. New users receive three free credits without a credit card. Workflows can send consent emails and reminders after 24 and 72 hours, and the service compares candidate and reference IP addresses to flag possible conflicts or fraudulent activity. Its free talent pool turns uploaded resumes into searchable profiles and matches candidates to job descriptions. AI-led video interviews are in beta and use one credit per invitation, with recordings for each question. Surveys and exit interviews use one credit per two recipients. The REST API supports creating checks, retrieving results and analysis, and managing jobs and templates; the maker says ATS platforms can connect through REST and webhooks. VerifyRef is available through web and API. Credit packs start at $33 for five credits, and credits do not expire. Custom pricing is available for hiring at scale or over 100 credits per month.
