How to Add Referee Details Manually

If you prefer to add referees one by one, you can do this manually. Easily input the necessary details to contact the referees!
1. Click Add Referee
On the Candidate Profile, you can manually add the referee details. Click on Add Referee.
2. Choose to Add References Manually
You can either ask the candidate to submit more referee details, or you can do this manually. If you choose to do this manually, select Add referee details manually and then Done. You'll then be asked to choose between three different types of references:
1. Employment Reference – from a past employer. The candidate must enter prior employment details with this referee.
2. Professional Reference – from a professional contact, not necessarily a past employer. No prior employment details required.
3. Friends & Family Reference – a personal reference on character and work ethic. No prior employment details required.

3. Fill Out the Referee's Details
Select which reference type the candidate is providing, or the type you want the candidate to provide, then fill out the details manually. Each reference type has its own form, for example, the Employment Reference form asks for the referee's first name, last name, relationship to the candidate, phone, email, and company name. Click Continue once you've entered the details.
Final Thoughts
Adding referee details manually gives you full control over the reference check when a candidate can't submit their own referees, or when you'd rather enter the information yourself. Once saved, each referee's details appear on the candidate's profile, ready for the reference check to begin.
