How to Add Additional Information for Candidates and Referees in a Project

When you want to provide your candidates or referees with specific instructions or information in a project, you can include this as Additional Information. This custom text will automatically appear in the communication sent to candidates or referees, ensuring they have all the necessary details. Follow the steps below to configure this feature.

Additional information on a new project:


  1. When creating a new project and setting up the questionnaire and how to communicate, navigate to the Candidate Communication or Referee Communication settings.
  2. Write your custom message in the text box labelled Additional Information for Candidates/referee's (or a similar field for referees).
This text will automatically be included in the email or SMS sent to candidates requesting their reference details.

Configuring an existing project with Additional information :


  1.  If you already started a project and need to add information, open the project settings for the project you are working on in Refapp.
  2. Navigate to the Candidate Communication or Referee Communication settings and write your custom message in the text box labelled Additional Information for Candidates/Referees (or a similar field for referees).


    This text will automatically be included in the email or SMS sent to new candidates/referee's in the project or when resending the request for the reference check.

Example Use Cases:

  • Include instructions on how to submit references.
  • Provide clarification on why email addresses are preferred for referees.
  • Share any additional guidelines or requirements for the reference process.

Benefits of Using Additional Information

  • Saves time by automating the inclusion of essential instructions.
  • Ensures consistent communication in the projects.
  • Reduces the need for follow-up questions from candidates or referees.
