Referoo is the ultimate reference and background checking solution, with all your employment checks all in one place.

One partner, one platform and one candidate email for streamlined hiring - it’s employment checking, simplified. We exist to make the lives of recruiters easier. Referoo will help you to check candidate references in no time. Referoo allows you to contact multiple referees from your dashboard and who fill out a customised secure evaluation survey about your candidate and their reports appear in re

al time. Once you have the desired number of references, Referoo produces a smart, branded report for you to send to your client. Referoo founders Chris and Neil have a background in recruitment and sales and have requested and completed hundreds of references over the years. There were no easy to use, reliable or cost effective solutions to producing good looking comprehensive references for clients. We identified key areas of pain in recruiters life when it came to reference checking such as getting referees to talk to you at a convenient time, having a form for the referee to complete that looked professional, time taken chasing referees around the world in different time zones or simply having your calls ignored. Referoo is in beta testing right now and we'd love you to sign up for a free trial. Help us create something that will make the recruitment process easier, quicker and a little less painful for recruiters.

Hiring a senior leader:

Stage 1: “Just run the usual checks.”
Stage 2: “Actually, can we add sanctions screening?”
Stage 3: “Wait, do we check directorships?”
Stage 4: “Should we verify qualifications as well?”
Stage 5: “And maybe an adverse media check, just to be safe?”

Governance works best when it’s designed into the process, not remembered halfway through it.

The intention is simple: “Just one quick check.”

The reality is often less so. Multiple systems. Multiple logins. Multiple emails and follow-ups. Multiple places to check progress.

The productivity loss doesn’t come from lack of effort. It comes from friction built into the process.

Governance gaps rarely look dramatic on the surface. They’re usually small process decisions that made sense at the time.

A manual reference check here.

A sanctions check “only if needed.”

A spreadsheet holding everything together.

Collectively, these decisions create blind spots in your process.

The real issue is prioritising speed for growth over due diligence that protects the organisation. Is your current process built for both?

Eight years ago, Referoo started with one goal: make reference checks less painful.

A lot has changed since then.

What began as a smarter way to run reference checks has grown into something we're genuinely proud of – Referoo Hub, a single platform where HR and recruitment teams can run reference checks, background checks, ID verification, police checks, Right to Work checks and more, all from one place.

Over eight years, we've worked alongside thousands of HR and recruitment teams across Australia, New Zealand and the UK, listened to what slows them down and kept building to fix it. Every new feature, every integration, every check type we've added has come from those conversations.

Here's to the clients, candidates and referees who've trusted us along the way and to the team who shows up every day to make hiring a little less stressful for everyone.

In 2026, pre-employment screening is about managing risk. And that means going beyond basic reference checks.

That means:
➜ Police checks for positions of trust
➜ Sanctions screening in regulated industries
➜ Directorship and conflict checks for senior roles
➜ Qualification verification
➜ Adverse media checks for high-visibility appointments
➜ Advanced digital footprint screening where appropriate

Not every role needs every check. But every organisation needs clarity on which risks it is, and isn’t, prepared to carry.

Interviewer:
“We covered everything.”

Background check:
“Did you though?"

And that’s when that one awkward moment in the interview suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.

You can hire fast.
You can hire safely.
You can’t afford not to do both.

Speed and compliance are often framed as opposites. As though governance slows hiring down.

In reality, fragmented processes are what create delay.

When ID, reference and background checks are integrated, hiring becomes both faster and more controlled. There’s less chasing, fewer gaps and clearer oversight.

Governance shouldn’t be a trade-off for speed. With Referoo Hub you can have both: https://www.referoo.com/hub

Every HR team has had this conversation:

“Did we check that last time?”

“I think so.”

“Where would it be recorded?”

“… good question.”

Don’t rely on memories for hiring governance.

You hire a senior leader.

Six months later, a conflict of interest comes to light. It wasn’t identified during hiring.

It wasn’t intentional. It was a gap in the hiring process.

Governance failures rarely start with intent. They start with assumptions that “someone would have seen that.”

Referoo Hub can help to close those gaps in the process with streamlined employment checking. Book a demo: https://www.referoo.com/demo

Good hiring governance doesn’t mean complicated processes or more forms. Start with asking a simple question:

“If this hiring decision is reviewed in 12 months, can we clearly demonstrate due diligence?”

The trick to answering yes to that question is a structured, auditable workflow. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Referoo Hub is the solution. It takes all of your pre-employment checks and streamlines them in a single, streamlined process.

HR leaders, we’re quietly giving you your Tuesdays back.

Not by asking your teams to work faster. And not by squeezing more into already full calendars.

But by removing the screening admin that accumulates in small, daily tasks. These are the tasks that you can’t see on a report but that erode time and focus throughout the day, every day.

Across the industry, hours are lost each week to manual follow-ups, duplicated checks and fragmented systems.

Referoo’s ROI Calculator helps quantify that hidden time, so you can see what’s really being lost and where automation creates genuine breathing room: https://www.referoo.com/roi-calculator

All I want this week is a quick question that’s actually quick. 😅

HR & TA teams… you already know how this ends.

The good news? Some things can stay simple, like background checks.

Referoo helps streamline screening, support compliance and reduce risk, without adding more admin to your plate.
