# Address Reference Check

**Phone reference check**

A phone reference check includes manually calling your candidate's supplied reference to answer a list of questions and the summary of the reference call is included in your Certn report. Certn has a standard list of questions or the customer can provide their own.

**Digital reference check**

A digital reference check includes submitting employment reference questionnaires using our standard questions or allows you to supply a customized list of questions to verify the best applicant.
