The questions a reference checker is likely to ask, so nothing catches your reference cold
Quick start guide
Tell us the role you are up for and how you know your reference — we build the briefing and the question bank around it.
Note what the role values and how your reference worked with you.
Tip: Mention the reference's seniority — a manager and a peer answer different questions well.
Add anything you would rather get ahead of, like a short stint or a gap.
Share the note with your reference and walk them through the likely questions before the call.
Run Interview Intelligence on the same company so your story and your references reinforce the same themes.
