Form-Based Reference Checks
Are Broken
References ignore email forms. Candidates game written answers. You wait weeks for useless data.
The real cost isn't slow forms — it's losing a great candidate while you wait.
Form-Based Tools
Traditional approach
- ~40% response rate
- 2–3 weeks average turnaround
- Written answers are easier to game
- Generic one-word responses
- Limited credibility signals
VoiceRef Phone Interviews
AI-powered approach
- Higher response rates via phone
- Same-day results
- Natural conversation with follow-ups
- Voice-verified, detailed answers

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about VoiceRef.
Yes. Every reference receives an SMS or web link with a clear opt-in before any call is placed. All calls include upfront recording disclosure. Opt-out is supported and honored immediately. VoiceRef is built with TCPA-aware workflows and maintains a full audit trail for every interaction.
Never. No call is placed until the reference explicitly opts in via SMS reply or web link. If they decline or don’t respond, no call happens. You are never charged for unanswered or declined references.
Phone calls have significantly higher response rates than email forms. We also retry automatically if the reference doesn’t pick up.
We analyze answer consistency, timeline plausibility, and relationship-specific questions that casual contacts can’t answer convincingly. The full transcript is included in your report so you can review the evidence yourself. Suspicious patterns are flagged automatically.
Same day for most calls. The transcript is processed immediately after the call ends. Average turnaround: 2–4 hours.
We use 8 proven questions optimized for hiring insights, with sector-specific variants for Healthcare, Sales, Engineering, Finance, and more. You can also add recruiter notes to guide the interview focus. Custom question sets are planned for Enterprise plans.
