  • Can I customise the questions?

    Yes. You control every question, rating scale, compliance statement and approval workflow — per client, per job, per industry.

  • Does RefMe integrate with Bullhorn, JobAdder or Vincere?

    Yes. You can trigger a reference check, see status, and store final reports directly against the candidate inside your ATS.
