What is the Executive Summary in Refapp?
The Executive Summary gives you a clear and instant overview of the most important insights directly in the candidate profile.
It is a new view that highlights the key results from your reference checks, so you can get a quick sense of the overall outcome without having to read through the entire report first. Think of it as a helpful guide to help you identify the most relevant parts of the report to focus on.

Where can I find it?
You’ll find the Executive Summary directly in the candidate view once reference responses have been submitted.
