How long does a reference check take with CroonBox?

Most structured reference requests are completed within 24 to 72 hours. Referees receive the request by email with automated reminders, and hiring teams can see the live status of every check on one dashboard rather than chasing responses individually.

How do you verify that a reference is genuine?

Each reference is tied to a named referee at a named organisation, submitted through a structured form rather than free-text email. Recorded voice verification and a full audit trail record who responded, when and from where, so hiring teams can evidence every check.

Who can see my references?

References stay private to the person who wrote them until the employee grants access. Employees approve or decline each access request, can limit what a given employer sees, and can withdraw access at any time.

Can I request references for past employment abroad?

Yes. Requests can be sent to referees in any country, and the platform supports multiple languages and currencies. Data handling stays GDPR-aligned regardless of where the referee is based.

What happens if a referee does not respond?

Automated reminders escalate on a schedule, and you can nudge or reassign a request to an alternative referee without starting again. Response times and completion rates are reported per role and per team, so bottlenecks are easy to spot.
