HiPeople offers a software-as-a-service that automates the end-to-end reference checking process, from request through collection and analysis, aiming to provide verified, in-depth references for recruiters. The company says its approach results in users collecting twice as many references in half the time compared with traditional manual processes. HiPeople’s longer-term product roadmap includes a candidate analytics platform to deliver richer talent insights and enable data-driven hiring. Customers range from fast-growing startups to upper mid-market companies, with Celonis cited as a notable user across multiple geographies. The founders frame the business as being in the talent insights space, focused on improving hiring quality and velocity. HiPeople competes with manual reference-check infrastructure in Europe and with automation players such as Xref and Crosschq in the U.S.
