We’re proud to announce our partnership with Konfir, the UK’s leading Government Certified provider of Instant Employment & Income Verification.

As a trusted talent intelligence solution used by recruitment and HR teams across regulated sectors, we’re excited to bring together two best-in-class platforms to enhance the speed, reliability, and compliance of employment verification in the UK, especially within healthcare and financial services.

Refapp already plays a crucial role in helping companies meet the demanding reference standards required by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Care Quality Commission (CQC). By integrating Konfir’s Instant Employment Verification technology, Refapp clients will now be able to gain access to verified employment history data within seconds, significantly reducing the time and administrative burden involved in regulated hiring processes.

Empowering Regulated Recruitment

The new integration enables Refapp clients to supplement traditional reference checks with real-time employment data, offering a more complete and quicker verification process. This is particularly important in high-stakes industries like healthcare and finance, where regulatory scrutiny is high and time-to-hire is critical.

David Näsström, Co-owner of Refapp, commented on the partnership:
“Partnering with Konfir allows us to better support our customers in regulated sectors where accuracy and speed are non-negotiable. Together, we’re making it easier for organisations to hire safely and confidently.”

Chris Miligan, CEO of Konfir, added:
“This partnership is about bringing efficiency and trust to the forefront of regulated hiring. By integrating our Instant Employment Verification with Refapp, we’re enabling organisations to make faster, more informed hiring decisions, without compromising on compliance.”
