Questions & Answers
How much time do I have to fill out the form?
The link is usually active for 14-30 days, but we recommend filling it out as soon as possible so as not to delay the hiring process.
Who should I list as a reference?
The best option is your Direct Manager. Team Leads or HR are also suitable. Peers are less suitable but acceptable if there is no other option.
Should I warn my references?
Yes, it is good practice/manners. Let them know they will receive an email from Prooflooker so it doesn't get lost in spam.
What if the reference doesn't respond?
The system will send several automatic reminders. If there is no response, the recruiter may ask you to provide another contact.
