Very efficient
Pros
That it was very friendly to use it to recommend a partner for a job. I do it at my own time, and you have the flexibility to do it once you are free of work.
Cons
The process was very usefull. The only problem was that at the beginni8ng I tought that my friend will work at your company, thanks the person call me and says do not get scared if you received an email from a company

RefNow Review by CareDogs
Reviewed on 2020/05/18
I think it's a great system, and I love that it has a charitable arm and offers charities free use!
Pros
I like that it's a simple format that allows the reference writers an easy and straight forward user journey.
Cons
That it's free for charities but you do this by including credits, rather than just being free automatically for charities and non-profits.

Completing a reference using RefNow
Reviewed on 2020/05/27
I well thought through product which harnesses the power of simplicity, however giving a functional and professional feel to the end product.
Pros
The product was easy to access and use. The layout of the document was simple yet functional.
The information held within the document allowed me to summarise what I had to say regarding the individual in question.
Cons
Nothing particularly springs to mind ... it would be interesting to know if auto save functionality is built in if the product or IT infrastructure using it crashed?

Response from RefNow
Hi Melissa,
We're sorry to hear your experience of using RefNow as a referee was not the service you expected.
We would like to offer you 3 months free unlimited use of the RefNow platform for your organisation if you would like to see how it works from the inside / controlling notification frequency to explore your suggestions and ideas for improvements of how some of our features currently work.
Currently we leave the notification frequency to the choice of our organisations who send the reference requests, and they are sometimes set to be more frequent if there is an important need for the reference to be received back. However we fully understand this may not be convenient for all referees and candidates who are receiving the reminder notifications and phone calls from our team.
If you would be interested in our offer please ask your HR team to contact us at [email protected] so we can get your free account setup.
We look forward to working with you.

So simple to use
Reviewed on 2020/06/06
Simple and easy but due to my hours that I work felt they sent far too many messages and emails within only a day and a half before I could have proper time to deal with effectively
Pros
So easy to provide a reference using the step by step process
Cons
Felt it could have a section for personal rather than just employment reference

A lot more detailed than expected, but I can understand how that is extremely beneficial for the hiring company.
Pros
Prompts made me think thoroughly about the specifics of the candidate’s attributes and shortcomings.
Cons
Answers felt a little cold. Much more nuance able to be communicated when providing a reference person to person.

RefNow - Simple and Effective!
Reviewed on 2020/05/22
Good, simple experience
Pros
The simplicity of Ref Now was what really appealed to me. The fact that I could simply tick a few boxes, write a reference from an employee & be on my way is why I would recommend the software. Other referencing tools take too much time asking unrelated questions - RefNow was to the point.
Cons
There weren't enough reminders to complete my reference. Although it was a remind a week or so after I had received the request which prompted me to finally complete it - I would have preferred 2-3x weekly reminders given the importance of a reference to someone's future.
