Recruiting, HR ops, and talent leaders
Best first fit: teams where reference checks delay offers, require manual chasing, or need clearer consent and audit records.
Buyer kit
Everything needed to evaluate a first Ref&Go pilot.
Use this page as the internal forwardable packet for HR, recruiting, operations, IT, security, and finance. Ref&Go is the reference-checking product powered by Cordelia, built to coordinate candidates, references, hiring teams, forms, reminders, review, and reports without forcing every participant into a new portal.
5 to 10 candidate checks
Enough volume to compare completion rate, manual follow-up, reference experience, and report quality against the current process.
$399 workspace + $25 per completed package
Employer-paid only. Candidates and references are never charged, upsold, or paywalled.
Business case
What changes for the hiring team
Hiring teams stop manually chasing every candidate and reference.
Candidates authorize once, add references, and track status without an employer account.
References answer through secure web, chat/SMS, or guarded voice fallback.
Employer forms and question sets can be converted into guarded workflow templates.
Completed reports include consent, evidence, review state, audit timeline, and usage cost.
Operations can recover failed SMS, dead jobs, webhook failures, and stuck workflows from the Ops panel.
Implementation checklist
How a pilot goes live
- Create the employer workspace and invite owner/admin users.
- Choose the first role or team to pilot: one open role is enough.
- Paste or upload the employer's current reference questions into the workflow intake tool.
- Confirm the candidate authorization text and reference consent language.
- Run one internal test request through applicant authorization, reference response, human review, report share, and billing ledger.
- Move from demo outbox mode to live Resend plus Twilio when real candidate/reference messages should send automatically.
- Run the public launch gate from the deploy runbook before the first paid production pilot.

This creates a durable pilot lead in Ref&Go. No workspace is created until the buyer confirms fit and rollout scope.
Procurement answers
Short answers for internal review
What system of record does Ref&Go replace?
None by default. Ref&Go coordinates the reference workflow around existing employer processes and can sync through API keys, signed webhooks, ATS adapters, Teams, Slack, email, SMS, and reports.
Does Ref&Go make hiring decisions?
No. Ref&Go collects, normalizes, and organizes reference evidence for human review. The employer remains responsible for hiring decisions.
What data is processed?
Employer workspace settings, candidate contact and authorization records, reference contact and response records, channel history, consent records, audit events, report shares, and usage/billing records.
Can we start without live SMS or payment wiring?
Yes for demos and controlled design pilots. Outbox communications and local billing prove the workflow without external provider accounts. Live business pilots should wire production email/SMS before relying on automated outreach.
What proves the pilot worked?
The first gate is 70%+ completed candidate checks with zero employer follow-up, plus usable human-reviewed reports and no charging of applicants or references.
