After doubling revenue between 2024 and 2025 and growing customer roster by 200%, RefAssured maintains 100% customer referenceability and posts most successful fiscal quarter
Bullhorn Engage – RefAssured, a provider of automated reference checking solutions and performance insight for the staffing industry, today announced milestone growth achievements and the expansion of its enterprise customer roster to include Ingenovis Health, Fusion, and Triage. RefAssured celebrated its most successful quarter ever in Q1 2025, continuing a trend of uninterrupted quarterly growth since the launch of the company in early 2023, and 100%+ net retention. It has now processed 1 million references through its platform, representing 20 million different structured, comparable data points on candidate past performance.
RefAssured is hyper-focused on expanding its R&D and product roadmap as part of its commitment to customer success and collaborative solutions. While RefAssured’s core product is automated reference checking – with forthcoming product expansion into performance evaluations and redeployment solutions – the uncommon value unlocked by high-value profitable relationship-building has proven to be a compelling benefit to customers. In the first 12 months of using RefAssured, the average customer sees 25X ROI against the cost of the platform based solely on new talent and sales leads, which can exceed well over $2 million in net new revenue for an enterprise customer. This benefit scales directly against the total number of placements and reference checks run.
“At Ingenovis, we are committed to placing only the highest-quality clinical talent at the bedside,” said Andrea Nelson, President of VISTA Staffing, an Ingenovis Health company. “At VISTA, we care deeply about the experience of both our clinicians and our clients. That commitment drives every decision we make—including who we choose to partner with. We only collaborate with technology providers who share our values and our dedication to excellence, which is exactly why we selected RefAssured. RefAssured was built by staffing professionals who understand our industry. Their platform delivers immediate ROI—not just through faster reference checks, but also by helping us generate warm talent leads, engage candidates more effectively, and provide outstanding service. Since adopting RefAssured, we’ve seen a 95% reference completion rate, faster turnaround times, and a more efficient way to identify top-tier talent. This partnership stands out because of the operational improvements we’ve seen, the innovation behind their platform, and the strong rapport we’ve built with their team. We’re truly excited about what we’re building together.”
"We saw a real need to streamline the reference process,” said Jeremy Guenthner, VP of Operations for Triage. “Candidates move so frequently that relying on an old, manual reference check process can be inefficient and ineffective. RefAssured gives us an enhanced, modernized solution that has significantly improved the efficiency and reliability of our reference checking process. Our experience with the RefAssured platform has been exceptional and the team’s support has been outstanding. They’ve consistently gone the extra mile to ensure a smooth experience and we’re looking forward to seeing what else they offer in the future."
“Fusion’s partnership with RefAssured has been productive and collaborative as we work together to enhance the staffing work we do,” said Fusion’s Chief Technology Officer, Ryan Paulson. “We want the best for our healthcare travelers, facility partners, and patients across the country, and working with innovative companies helps us build the best processes. Our partnership with RefAssured is an example of that, and the Fusion team is excited to see what we can accomplish as the collaboration continues.”
In the 27 months since launching, RefAssured has surpassed its growth projections and has crossed multiple annual recurring revenue milestones that put it in rare company for SaaS startups. With proven product market fit in healthcare and IT staffing and a rapidly expanding number of front office solutions with which the platform integrates, the team is focused on delivering against its ambitious product roadmap which was designed in close collaboration and partnership with its customers.
“While our growth numbers are exciting, they only tell part of our story," said Brian Vesce, CEO of RefAssured. "What truly matters is that every single one of our customers remains referenceable, proving we’re delivering real value. The 25X ROI our platform generates, on average, speaks to the practical solutions we've built together with our customers, especially among challenging market conditions. Our growth reflects not just a shift in how firms screen and vet candidates, but also speaks to how valuable and powerful it is to capture active, continuously relevant insight throughout the employment lifecycle. This human-generated, trustworthy performance intelligence can reframe the entire way in which we place and manage talent.”
RefAssured will be exhibiting at Bullhorn Engage on May 28th and 29th as a gold sponsor, in Booth G11.
