WorkRef.me stores your employment history in one place, when you now apply for a new job, your references can be checked through the WorkRef database and website instantly.
Your employer signs up to the WorkRef platform and adds all its employees to the database.
Each employee will receive an email with a link so they can login to the site and see their data i.e. employment history and record, including any other employment related data that has been uploaded to the database.
When you end your employment the database is updated and displays the dates that you worked with that employer. Other information such as job title and vocational qualifications can also be uploaded by your employer.
When you apply for a job, your potential new employer will be able to access your record through the system and speed up the reference process. Your current or previous employer will not be able to see who is accessing your reference, but you will, as each search is recorded in your account.
Once your employer has added you to the database you’ll be able to view what information they have for you.
You can also control what information is shared with prospective employers if they’re looking at your profile.
Your data can only be accessed by you and your current employer. If you apply for a new position with another organisation, they will request to see your references through the system, you can either allow those organisations who you have applied for a job with to have access automatically or you can set your account so that you must approve any access. Access to your information is heavily protected

We require that all information held on the system is factual, dates of employment etc. Any personal statements or letters of recommendations supplied by previous employers should be checked carefully if you are still unhappy then you can use our dispute manager process to high light this to the record creator.

If you want to take control of your work references, send a request to your current employer to sign up to the WorkRef platform.
