Zoho Recruit tracks reference check status and can automate reference request emails to referees.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Collecting and Tracking References<\/h2>\n<p>Candidates applying through Zoho Recruit can be asked to provide reference contact details as part of the application form. Recruiters can then contact references directly and log the outcome on the candidate record. Zoho Recruit provides custom fields and notes to capture reference feedback in a structured format alongside other assessment data.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Automated Reference Requests<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Recruit can send automated reference request emails to referees when a candidate reaches a defined stage. The email includes a questionnaire link or a structured form for the referee to complete. Responses are stored against the candidate record, reducing recruiter manual effort and ensuring references are collected before an offer is extended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A logistics company in Pune requires two reference checks before any offer is extended. When a candidate moves to the Reference Check stage, Zoho Recruit automatically emails both referees a structured questionnaire. The recruiter is notified when both referees respond, and the responses are stored on the candidate record for review.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/background-verification-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Background Verification<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/pipeline-stage-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Pipeline Stage<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/offer-stage-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Offer Stage<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/candidate-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Candidate<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is a Reference Check in Zoho Recruit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Reference Check in Zoho Recruit is the verification step where previous employers or colleagues are contacted to confirm a candidate&#8217;s professional conduct and work history.
