Your referee's voice is the one signal a CV cannot replicate.
VouchMe captures spoken references as audio, so a former colleague's actual voice and context come through — not just text a CV could fake. Candidates keep these references and reuse them across applications.
Why audio carries more than a written summary
Tone and sincerity
A referee who genuinely thinks highly of a candidate sounds different from one who is going through the motions. Audio preserves that distinction in a way structured text cannot.
Context and specificity
When a referee speaks unprompted about a specific project or moment, the recruiter hears real recall — not a polished summary written at the candidate's request.
Accountable endorsement
A real person recording their name and voice behind an endorsement is putting their own credibility on the line. That accountability is the signal recruiters are ultimately looking for.
Audio, not video
VouchMe is audio-only — no camera, no video recording, no setup. The bar for referees stays low while still capturing the voice signal that matters. Written answers are also supported for referees who prefer text.
How a candidate gets one
Set context
The candidate specifies the role and relationship so the referee can respond with precise, relevant detail.
Referee records
The referee answers structured questions — in writing, as audio, or both — through a guided process under 10 minutes. No account required to start.
Candidate claims the record
The candidate creates a free account to claim the completed reference and can now share access with recruiters on demand.
Share across applications
Each recruiter who requests access gets a time-limited view of the structured reference, including any audio clips. The referee is not contacted again.

Frequently asked questions
- What are voice recorded job references?
- Voice recorded job references are spoken endorsements captured as audio — a former colleague answers structured questions in their own voice instead of writing a text summary. VouchMe stores these recordings as part of a structured reference record that candidates can share with recruiters.
- Why does audio matter for a reference?
- Tone, pacing, and the willingness to speak without a script carry meaning that structured text cannot. When a referee records a short audio answer, the recruiter hears the sincerity and context behind the words — not just what was typed. A candidate cannot write that for them.
- Is VouchMe audio or video?
- VouchMe is audio-only. Referees record spoken answers to structured questions — there is no camera, no video upload, and no video review. Audio keeps the bar low for referees while still capturing the voice signal that matters.
- Can a candidate reuse an audio reference more than once?
- Yes. Once a referee has recorded their reference, the candidate claims it to their VouchMe account. They can then share access with multiple recruiters across different applications without asking the referee to record again.
