Employee Reference Request Form — shared by the community

Who this template is for

Employee Reference Request Form is built for HR, people ops and hiring managers who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record.

• HR, people ops and hiring managers working in human resources.
• Teams who need to run hiring and internal people processes on one auditable record without writing code or paying for a custom build.
• Anyone replacing CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes with one structured record per enquiry.
• Respondents are candidates and employees — the form asks them 13 questions across 2 screens.
• Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of CVs, requests and approvals scattered across inboxes and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

• 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
• It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
• It scores satisfaction on a consistent scale.
• Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
• Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
• Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

• Features advanced show logic: if “Would you re-employ?” is No or With reservations, the form dynamically exposes “Please explain”. Otherwise that question never appears.
• Features conditional validation: if “Would you re-employ?” is No or With reservations, “Please explain” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
• Features advanced show logic: if “Relationship to candidate” is Other, the form dynamically exposes “Please describe the relationship”. Otherwise that question never appears.
• All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
