How Do I Provide a Reference When My Company Restricts Clicking Links?

If your company policy prevents you from opening links, you can simply reply directly to the reference request email with your reference **as a PDF or DOCX attachment**, or **within the email body**. Your response will be automatically processed and shared with the recruiter who requested it. If you’re unable to reply to the original reference request email, you can email your reference (as a **PDF/DOCX attachment** or in the email body) to **contact@zincwork.com**. In all cases, make sure you **quote/include the reference ID from the original email** (it starts with **REF_**) in the email subject or message. When providing your reference, please include: - The candidate’s **job title** - The **company name** - The **dates of employment** - Any additional information required by your industry’s regulatory standards (e.g., safeguarding concerns, fitness and propriety assessments, etc.) **Important:** An employment reference letter uploaded or forwarded by the candidate cannot be accepted as the referee’s response. The referee (or former employer) must send the reference directly from an **official business or organisation email address**. Any supporting reference document should be **attached by the referee or employer** when they respond.
