I Can't Provide a Reference for a Candidate
If you've received a reference request and you cannot provide a reference at all for them, here's how you can let them know.
1. Open the reference request email and click **Provide reference**.
2. You will automatically be taken to Zinc. Inside of the reference request, click **Start -- > view candidate details**.
3. The next page will show the candidate's details and ask if you can confirm that the candidate worked at the company.
4. Please select **No** if you cannot provide a reference.
5. Once you click **No**, you will be asked to provide some context as to why you are unable to provide a reference for them.
6. Please fill this out with the reasoning if available and if there's possibly a better contact for the candidate such as the HR Department instead.
7. Click **Submit**.
After submitting this, you can exit the reference request.
The candidate will be notified that you cannot provide a reference with the note from yourself on the extra context. They will then be prompted to provide another contact for this reference.
That's it! You have now declined the reference request.
