This guide provides ready-to-use language for explaining how Konfir Respond works - and why you're using it - to internal teams, employees & alumni, and external reference requesters.

We’ve outsourced reference handling to improve security, reduce admin, and eliminate manual risk. Konfir Respond replaces manual reference handling with a secure, automated system - saving time, reducing risk, and improving compliance.

We now use Konfir Respond to handle all incoming employment reference requests.

It’s a government-certified platform that replaces manual referencing with fast, verified data pulled directly from an individual’s HMRC, payroll, or bank records.

This reduces our admin burden, eliminates non-compliant reference sharing, and ensures every request is handled securely, with the applicant’s consent.

It’s also completely free for us to use.

You’re in control - your reference is handled securely and only with your permission.

Your employment reference is being processed through Konfir, a secure and government-certified platform. You’ll be asked to give consent and connect to a trusted data source (like HMRC or payroll), so your information can be shared securely.

We’ve switched to a faster and more secure process - and it’s still free to use.

We now process all employment reference requests through our partner, Konfir - a secure, government-certified platform that provides verified data in real time.

Just follow the link to our Konfir Respond page, enter the applicant’s details, and Konfir will take care of the rest - including collecting their consent and delivering verified data instantly.

There’s no cost to you or the applicant.
