Find references When you need references for a candidate, Amy finds the colleagues who've worked alongside them, the people best placed to speak to how they actually operate, along with how to reach them. ## What you get * A list of former colleagues and collaborators of the candidate * How each one worked with the candidate and over what period * Verified names and contact details where available * A starting point for reference conversations ## When to use it * You're taking references and want the right people to approach * You want voices beyond the names the candidate offered themselves * You want the legwork of finding and reaching them done for you ## How to activate Give Amy the candidate and the kind of references you want. ```text title="Copy and send to Amy" wrap theme={null} Find references for [candidate]. Identify former colleagues and collaborators who can speak to their work, tell me how each worked with them and over what period, and give me verified contact details where you can. ``` ## Integrations needed *** Want to get more out of this recipe?
