Reference King mascot — a smiling stick figure wearing a crown

Ask once. Shine everywhere.

Your references record a short video once — you share it with every employer, and see who's watching.

How it works

Four steps to a reusable reference

Tell us who's vouching for you

Pick the purpose of the reference and add your reference's details.

Edit the video script

We draft it from what recruiters actually ask — you make it yours.

Send the email request

We word the ask for you. Your reference records a short video on their own time.

Your reference, ready to share

It shows up in your account — share it with every employer from one code.

Why it exists

Built for the two hardest asks

I can't get a job — I have no experience to point to. New grads use video references to stand out beyond a thin resume and get the interview.
I feel bad for asking my references for help. Again. Frequent movers ask once — their references record one video instead of taking call after call.

Ready to ask? It takes about three minutes.

One request today — a reference you'll reuse for years.
