PartnersPage.aboutPartner
RefAssured goes beyond automated reference checking. It is a candidate performance intelligence platform that gives staffing agencies a comprehensive view of talent quality. The platform automates the collection, verification, and scoring of professional references, then layers in identity verification, fraud risk signals, and post-hire performance evaluations. Their SOC 2 Type II certification and Joint Commission readiness make them particularly strong in regulated verticals like healthcare. Agencies report a 95% reduction in recruiter time spent on references and go-live in 48 hours from contract.
RefAssured is an automated reference checking and candidate performance intelligence platform built specifically for staffing agencies. It combines reference checking, identity verification, fraud detection, post-hire performance evaluations, and lead generation into a single platform. Created by staffing industry veterans from Apex Systems, TEKsystems, and Cypress HCM, the platform processes over 1M references annually.
Beyond basic reference checking, RefAssured cross-references candidate self-assessments with reference responses to detect inconsistencies. References can also opt into hiring for current or future job opportunities, turning every reference check into a potential lead generation event.

+
Recruiters can embed RefAssured reference check results and performance intelligence data into their Candidately candidate submissions. When references are collected and scored, the results appear alongside the candidate profile. Clients see structured reference feedback, performance insights, and verification status without needing to conduct their own reference checks. This speeds up the decision-making process and adds a layer of trust to every submission.
PartnersPage.whatLeadersSay
“RefAssured transforms reference checking from a compliance checkbox into a competitive advantage. When recruiters include reference intelligence in their Candidately submissions, clients get a fuller picture of the candidate before they even pick up the phone.”
Jan Jedlinski
CEO, Candidately
“Candidately understands that the candidate submission is the recruiter's moment to shine. By embedding our reference intelligence into that moment, agencies show clients they've done the work. It builds trust and speeds up placements.”
Brian Vesce
CEO, RefAssured
PartnersPage.faqTitle
How does RefAssured reference data appear in Candidately submissions?
RefAssured reference check results are embedded directly into Candidately candidate submissions. Clients see structured reference feedback, scoring, and verification status alongside the candidate profile, cover letter, and resume. No separate login or portal needed.
