VerifyRef automates reference checks by sending questionnaires, gathering replies, and producing AI sentiment analysis. A credit covers one candidate with up to five references, AI analysis, and PDF or CSV exports. New users receive three free credits without entering a credit card. Workflows can send consent emails and questionnaires, then follow up with reminders after 24 and 72 hours. The service compares candidate and reference IP addresses to flag potential conflicts or fraudulent activity. Its talent pool parses uploaded resumes into searchable profiles and matches candidates to job descriptions at no charge. AI-led video interviews are in beta and use one credit per invitation; surveys and exit interviews use one credit per two recipients. The REST API can create checks, retrieve results and analysis, and manage jobs and templates. The maker says any ATS can connect through REST and webhooks. VerifyRef is available on the web and through an API. Packs cost 33.00 USD per once for five credits, 119.00 USD per once for 20, 265.00 USD per once for 50, and 465.00 USD per once for 100; credits never expire.
