Request, collect and store employment references as verified, tamper-evident, consent-based records on forms aligned with CQC, NMC, HCPC, KCSIE — and Social Work England. Inspection-ready, every time.
No card to start · Built for care, healthcare, education & social work · UK data protection.
A reference is only useful if you know where it came from, that it hasn’t changed, and that it was shared with consent. Reffolio gives you all three on every record.
The previous employer completes the reference from their work email on a secure link. Free-mail addresses are flagged, so you can see who you’re reading.
Every completed reference is sealed with a cryptographic hash and a permanent reference number. Any change is detectable — a record you can stand behind in an audit or inspection.
The candidate is asked to consent before the reference is released to you — a clear, recorded basis for processing, held under UK data protection.
Reffolio fits the way safer recruitment already works — it just removes the chasing and the doubt.
Enter the candidate and their previous employer. Reffolio emails the referee a secure link with your logo and an AI-drafted covering note.
The previous employer fills in a form built for your sector — care, healthcare, education or social work — on the link, no account needed.
Before release, the candidate approves sharing the reference with you — recorded with a timestamp in the audit trail.
The reference lands in your account: verified, hashed, with a reference number and downloadable PDF — ready for inspection.
The same verified, consented, audit-trailed record — on the form your sector expects.
Reffolio uses AI to draft the covering email that goes to each referee — in your organisation’s voice, with your registration and contact details. The reference itself is always completed and declared by a real person, then sealed so it can’t be quietly changed.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. Pay per seat, with room to grow — from a single team to a national agency.
Request references from your own ATS, HR or recruitment system, get notified by webhook, and pull back verified records — while Reffolio handles the referee emails, consent and sector forms.
