RefNow allows your organisation to request detailed reference check reports for your candidates. Using RefNow’s online platform allows you to collect more data and spend less time chasing up references compared with traditional referencing.
Greenhouse Recruiting's integration with RefNow allows you to seamlessly add a RefNow Reference Request Check to a job's interview plan.

To start, contact the RefNow Support Team (support@refnow.co.uk) to receive your API key. Once you have received your API key, fill out the form at www.greenhouse.io/asksupport or click here to open a ticket.
The Greenhouse Support Team will respond with a SendSafely link for you to enter your API key. A notification will be sent to the Greenhouse Support Team after you have entered your API key and they will email you to confirm that your API key has been set up in your account and your integration is enabled.
Add RefNow Reference Request to Job’s Interview Plan
Once the Greenhouse/RefNow integration is enabled for your organization, you will be able to add RefNow Reference Request as an Interview stage.
To do this for an existing job, navigate to a job (All Jobs>Job Name) and click Job Setup from the Job navigation bar.
