Abstract
The present invention is a system and methodology embodied in an Internet Website and associated hardware and software to overcome the problem of a prospective employee providing dubious or fraudulent references. A prospective employer need no longer rely on references of relatives, friends, colleagues and/or acquaintances that have been strategically approached by the prospective employee to provide a ‘good’ and most often ‘exaggerated’ reference. The present invention allows for an employee'"'"'s prior employer to provide an employee reference to a future employer. Such referrals may be stored, indexed, searched and retrieved by prospective employers thereby enhancing the reliability and credibility of a prospective employee reference. While an employee may dispute a claim in a free form narrative or by uploading responsive documentation, the employee may not provide a referral.
