Reference Checking Is Slow, Manual and Expensive.


Most recruitment teams spend hours chasing referees, filling spreadsheets, and sending manual follow-ups. Old reference tools lock you into subscriptions, generic templates don’t fit your clients’ needs, and compliance risks sit with you.

Reference checking shouldn’t slow down placements, it should accelerate them.


Refme fixes that.
