How to respond to a request to give a reference to an applicant

Sometimes candidates will find a Vouch listing and apply themselves. See 📄 Applying to a job outrightfor more information.

Applicants are nudged to ask for references from their network. We believe this is the way to shine in the age of AI because it can provide insight beyond the CV itself.

If you received a link and it looks like this, it means someone in your network is asking you for a Vouch recommendation. Please do help them out and make someone's day a little brighter.

All you have to do is to write a few sentences on why this person could be a good fit for the job.
