What happens next

The person you invited will receive an email with a link. They can:

• Approve: fill in a short form and write a reference, which will appear on your profile once submitted.
• Decline: let you know they are not able to provide a reference at this time.

You will receive an email notification once they respond.

Managing your references

Your References section shows three groups:

• Pending: requests that have been sent but not yet responded to. You can cancel these at any time.
• Approved: completed references that are visible on your profile.
• Declined: requests that the person was unable to complete.

Deleting a reference

You can remove any approved reference from your profile at any time by clicking Delete next to it. Pending requests can be cancelled the same way.
