Pick HiveRef if…
HiveRef suits office managers, founders, or people and culture leads working without a dedicated HR department. It is for employment reference checks rather than criminal-record or credit screening.
Pick The Reference Checker if…
It suits employers that want to automate reference collection, follow-up, and reporting. Teams should check integration availability and note that requests cannot be sent from their own company email address.
