Reference Requests
The CareerPortal reference request feature allows you to choose when to request an applicant’s references. On the applicant side, an applicant is asked to provide the names and email addresses of a specified number of references when applying for a job. On the hiring side, you can choose when to request those references with the click of a button.
This feature comprises configuration settings, forms, and core questions. See forms and core questions to learn how forms and core questions work together. Before proceeding, ensure that you have the proper permission level to access the configuration settings page.
