Get to structured, verified references faster.
VouchMe helps recruiters and other requesters ask for access to a stored vouch, or begin a structured reference request, without treating every candidate check as a fresh manual chase.

Why these numbers matter
These figures reflect the real delays and admin burden built into traditional reference checks: slow hiring cycles, hours spent chasing referees, and feedback that typically arrives outside business hours. VouchMe is designed to make that process faster, clearer, and easier to reuse.
Bypass the Two-Referee Lock-Out
Most employers only check a candidate's most recent manager because chasing managers from five or ten years ago takes too much time. This leaves a massive portion of professional history unverified. VouchMe unlocks a candidate's full career history with pre-recorded, consent-governed vouches.
Zero scheduling delays
Skip the phone tag. Access completed written or voice-recorded responses on-demand, keeping your final hiring decisions moving forward.
Consent-first privacy
Vouches are never public or searchable. They are released only to you upon explicit approval by the referee. The candidate cannot read or hear the reference either — what you receive is unfiltered and went directly from the referee to VouchMe to you.
How it works
Input share code
Enter the candidate's shared reference code to locate their recorded vouch.
State your purpose
Provide your hiring context and why you want to review this professional history.
Referee consent check
The platform routes the request to the referee for secure, one-tap approval.
Open the Vouch Hub
Once approved, play high-fidelity audio answers and inspect the full audit trail.
No sign-in required to request access using a guest pass.
The Standard Format
Six standard questions. One consistent reference format.
Every VouchMe reference covers the same six areas of enquiry. Structured responses let you compare candidates side by side without coaching the referee — their voice and judgement remain entirely their own.
What was the working relationship you had with this person including their role? Length of time worked with?
How would you describe their interpersonal skills?
What would you say motivated the individual most?
What would you say are their strongest attributes?
Would you rehire/recommend for rehire?
Is there anything you would like to add?
