Xref
The Xref integration supports generating reference requests using the email address associated with a candidate’s profile.
Setting up the integration
- Log into your Xref account and find the Ashby integration to collect your API key.
- Log into Ashby (Org Admin) and visit the Integrations Marketplace
- Find the Xref integration, generate an Ashby API key, and input your Xref API key.
- You can choose to configure the activity on the interview plan or automatically the XRef activity for the Offer or Hired Stage of all interview plans.
Using the integration
There are three configuration options:
- Adding reference requests one-off
- From the candidate profile, click Add Activity and generate an Xref activity. Follow the steps on the activity that appears.
- Configuring them on the interview plan
- Visit the settings of a job and add the activity to the reference check stage of your interview plan. When a candidate enters the stage the activity will appear on their profile. From there, you can manually complete the steps to send the request.
- Automatically adding the assessment to offer or hired stages
- Choose the stage you’d like to include the activity on while configuring the integration. When a candidate enters the designated stage, the corresponding activity will appear.
Viewing the results
- When all references have been completed, the activity's status will be updated. The hiring team will receive notifications as the status changes.
- There will be a link to the results on the activity upon completion.
