Reference checks for hiring

Integration details

Description

HiveRef runs online reference checks for hiring teams: the candidate adds their referees, HiveRef contacts them, and you get a report when the answers are in. Connect HiveRef to ChatGPT to: - Find your organisation's reference checks by candidate, role or status, and see which are still waiting on referees. - See when a report is ready and get the link to read it in HiveRef. - List your question templates. - If you turn on sending when you connect: get suggested reference questions from a job description, and send a new reference check. ChatGPT shows you the candidate, email, role, referee count and questions first, and HiveRef only sends after you confirm. Who it's for: recruiters, hiring managers and HR teams with a HiveRef account (sign up at hiveref.com). Limits: each person signs in with their own HiveRef account and sees only their own organisation. Report contents and referee answers are never sent to ChatGPT; reports are read in HiveRef. ChatGPT can't change, cancel or delete checks, or contact referees directly. Sending uses one of your organisation's checks and emails the candidate.

Tools

7 tools agents can invoke

Finds the organisation's reference checks, newest first, with candidate name, role, status, how many referees have responded and a link to the check in HiveRef. Can filter by candidate name, role title or status. Results are paged: has_more and next_offset show when there are more checks.
list_recent_checks
Gets one reference check by its id: status, dates, referee progress, compliance flag and integrity signal counts, and the report's status. Report contents are not included: report_url opens the report in HiveRef, and report.note says whether it is ready yet.
get_check
Lists completed reference checks, most recently completed first, with each report's status and a report_url that opens the report in HiveRef. Report contents are not included. Can filter by candidate name or role title. Results are paged: has_more and next_offset show when there are more checks.
list_completed_checks
Lists the question templates available for new reference checks: HiveRef's role templates and the organisation's own saved templates, each with its id and name.
list_question_templates
Sends a reference check for one candidate. HiveRef emails the candidate a secure link to add their referees, then contacts the referees; the check counts towards the organisation's plan. Sending emails a real person and can't be undone from here. The questions come from custom_questions (up to 40) or a question_template_id; with neither, HiveRef's general template is used. Custom questions go through HiveRef's compliance check, which can reject a question and give the reason. A repeat call for the same candidate and role within 24 hours sends nothing unless send_again is true, so a retry does not email the candidate twice.
send_reference_check
Suggests reference-check questions for a role from its job description, using HiveRef's question writer. Returns a list of questions that can be edited before a check is sent. Creates and sends nothing.
suggest_reference_questions
Shows the HiveRef user and organisation this connection is signed in as: the user's name, email and role, and the organisation's name and plan.

How do I improve HiveRef's ChatGPT Plugin discoverability?

The levers are the listing surface agents actually read: names, descriptions, keywords, tool metadata, and registry health. Which lever matters depends on where discovery breaks, which is what continuous measurement shows.
