Request a DemoAutomated reference check software contacts a candidate’s references, collects structured feedback, and returns the answers without a recruiter managing every call. Superunit is built for CRAs, staffing agencies, and high-volume hiring teams that want live interviews rather than survey responses alone.
Superunit contacts managers, supervisors, peers, and other references by phone, SMS, and email at the same time. The agent conducts the interview, asks relevant follow-up questions, and keeps the available call transcript and message threads with the result. It uses the same multi-channel outreach model as Superunit’s employment and income verification product, adapted for open-ended interviews.
Send candidate details, reference contacts, and a standard or customized question set.
The AI agent begins all three channels in parallel and follows up at varied times, including evenings and weekends.
It asks configured questions and relevant follow-ups based on each reference’s answers.
Completed answers are compiled into the result. Email threads, text messages, and call transcripts remain available.
The main difference between reference check platforms is how they collect the answer. Survey tools optimize for standardized forms; researcher-led services preserve live conversation; Superunit uses AI agents to conduct phone interviews while running SMS and email outreach in parallel.
