About us

We think every hire deserves a real reference check

Reference checks are one of the best signals a hiring team has, and one of the most skipped. They take too long, depend on phone tag and produce notes nobody can compare. We built OnlineReferenceCheck.com to fix that.

Our mission

Make reference checks fast, consistent and affordable

When reference checks are slow, teams skip them or rush them. When every recruiter asks different questions, answers can't be compared. And when references feel put on the spot by a phone call, they say less than they mean.

Our platform asks every reference the same structured, job-related questions, lets them answer privately on their own time, and turns their answers into a report a hiring manager can read in minutes. At $18.00 per applicant, it costs less than the time a recruiter spends leaving voicemails.

A good reference check should take your team thirty seconds to start and give you something worth reading the next morning.
