Reference checks that produce signal, not noise.
Proofglint's reference check module dispatches standardized question sets to referees automatically, scores each response, and aggregates signals into a structured report. No more ad hoc phone calls.
Structured reference process in four steps.
Build Reference Rubric
Create a standardized question set for the role type. Questions anchored to observable behaviors — not opinion.
Auto-Dispatch
Candidate submits referee contact details. Invites sent automatically. Status tracking so you know who's responded.
Referee Scores
Each referee answers the same structured questions with scored responses and optional comments. Takes 10–15 minutes.
Signal Report
All referee responses aggregated into a structured signal report. Score distribution, consensus areas, and divergent signals shown.
What makes structured reference checks different.
Structured Question Sets
All referees answer the same questions in the same order. Apples-to-apples comparison across responses.
Automated Request Dispatch
Reference requests sent automatically via email when triggered. Reminder emails for non-responders. No manual follow-up.
Scored Responses
Each response includes a numeric score plus an open-text field. Aggregation weights scored responses while preserving qualitative context.
Aggregated Signal Report
A structured summary showing score distribution, consensus signals, and divergent areas across all referees.
Replace ad hoc reference calls with structured signal.
