Credibled
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
What it is
Credibled is a background screening platform for employers and organizations, focused on reference checks and other candidate verifications. Candidates provide references, then the service handles contact and follow-up, sending reminders every 24 hours for up to 10 days. Employers can build questionnaires with industry, job-title, and competency-based prompts, using text or rating questions. The reference-check page describes professional email validation and flags cases where a candidate and referee access Credibled from the same IP address. Completed references can be exported as PDFs and emailed to employers. A lead-generation feature can gather details about prospective job seekers and clients after a referee completes a questionnaire. Credibled lists Bullhorn, JobAdder, and Vincere integrations, plus an API with status-change webhooks and distinct sandbox and production keys. Production data is hosted in AWS Canada Central and encrypted at rest and in transit. Accounts include a dedicated representative, with same-day business-hour replies. Automated reference checks are C$9, paid once per candidate; eligible non-profits pay C$4.50, paid once per check.
