Does MachineHiring ATS manage reference checks with automation?

Yes — MachineHiring ATS can manage reference checks with automation. The system can be configured to:

• Send reference request forms or emails automatically when a candidate reaches the right stage.
• Collect responses securely through customizable online forms.
• Attach completed references directly to the candidate’s profile, alongside resumes, assessments, and interview notes.
• Trigger notifications to recruiters or hiring managers once references are submitted.

This eliminates the back-and-forth of chasing references manually and ensures every step is tracked, auditable, and consistent. Because MachineHiring ATS is fully customizable, you can decide whether reference checks are light-touch (quick forms) or more detailed (structured evaluations) — and the system will automate the workflow accordingly.

We can also integrate with platforms such as Xref/Crosschq.
