Nominate your referees

Add the people an organisation can contact for a reference about you.

If you're applying for a role, the organisation may send you a link to name your referees.

1. Open the link. It shows the organisation's name and how many referees they need (for example "0 of 2 referees added").
2. Enter your referee's full name and email address, plus any other details asked for (such as their job title or how long they've known you).
3. Tap Add referee. You'll see "[Name] added".
4. Repeat until you've added everyone needed. The page then says "You've added everything needed — thank you".

You don't need to send your referees anything. The organisation contacts them directly with their own secure form.

Tips

• Ask your referees first, and check you have their correct email.
• Choose people who've supervised your work, ideally recent managers.
• Use their work email where possible.

Note: The link lasts 30 days. If it has stopped working, ask the organisation for a new one.
