7. Just before your data is processed, you will be asked to consent to sharing your data. Please read through what will be accessed and click **Allow & Continue**.
Now your data will be processed and verified, stay on this page until the process is complete which should only take a few seconds- **it's really that quick**.
8. Once your data has been processed, you will see what has been verified which will be the **employer name and the dates you worked** for each verified Employment Verification reference.
Click the **Job Title** field to add in your job title for each company.
9. After adding all your job titles, click **Submit** at the bottom of the page.
**That's it!** You should now see your EPFO verified references with the job details inputted.
If you need to add more references, click **Add another** at the bottom of the page to input HR references to be contacted (if available) or if you have no more references to add, click **Finish** to go back to the overall dashboard.
## Why wasn’t I asked for my referee’s email address?
If you weren’t asked for a specific email address for your referees (and you don’t see an email field), that’s normal when you’re completing **Instant Employment Verification**. This verification is completed through the government login flow, rather than by contacting your referees.
If you’d still like to add HR references to be contacted, you can do this after completing Instant Employment Verification by clicking **Add another** (this may appear as **Add more**).
## EPFO is complete but References still shows incomplete
Instant Employment Verification can be the only reference type your employer has requested. If your EPFO verification is complete but the References section still shows incomplete, it does not always mean you need to add referee details.
First, check whether Zinc is showing any missing period or gap in your employment history. If a gap is shown, add the missing details and mark the period as employment or non-employment as prompted. You may be asked to provide a reference depending on what you select.
If no missing period is shown, refresh or reopen your submission and try clicking **Finish** again. If it still will not complete, contact Zinc Support for further guidance.
You only need to add referee or HR contact details if Zinc specifically asks you to provide manual referee details.
