About Refchecks
We're building the background check platform we wished existed.
Our Story
Born From Frustration
Refchecks was built by recruitment professionals who were tired of the status quo. Juggling multiple verification providers, chasing referees by phone, manually cross-checking candidate claims, and having no way to spot fraud until it was too late.
We spent years dealing with phone-based reference checks that took days, inconsistent results that varied depending on who made the call, and a complete lack of visibility into whether candidates were being honest about their employment history.
So we built the platform we wished existed: one place for every check type, with digital workflows that are faster and more consistent than phone calls, and built-in fraud detection that cross-references every verification against a growing database of confirmed employment records.
Our Mission
Faster, More Accurate, Fraud-Resistant
Our mission is to make pre-employment screening faster, more accurate, and fraud-resistant for Australian businesses of all sizes.
Whether you're a boutique recruitment agency running a handful of checks each month or an enterprise HR team processing hundreds, you deserve a platform that's simple to use, gives you confidence in the results, and doesn't charge you per check.
What We Do
Every Check Type, One Platform
