Why it should be encrypted

Reference answers can include personal contact details and candid opinions about a candidate's work. Keep them from being readable by SealForm or anyone who isn't authorized to review the hiring decision.

Tips

  • Tell references how their feedback will be used and who will review it.
  • Customize the questions to match the role and skills you're assessing.
  • Limit access to responses to people involved in the hiring decision.
