Xref Limited (ASX: XF1) and PageUp have announced the live launch of their integration.

The integration has been built by Xref using the PageUp public API platform, allowing PageUp users to access Xref through their existing dashboard and receive status updates without needing to leave the PageUp platform. The automated reference checking tool is now also available via the PageUp online marketplace.

A strategic partnership between the two Australian-grown companies was first announced in October 2019, in a release that detailed the mutual goals and successes of the two platforms to date.

PageUp began its growth into the North American market ahead of Xref, with a large percentage of its revenue now generated by the region. Having focused on the education sector, PageUp has positioned itself as the ATS of choice within some of the most high-profile colleges and universities in North America. This presents a great opportunity for Xref to grow its presence in the same sector, expanding on the success of its most significant client acquisition in the region, Texas A&M University.

Xref and PageUp support many of the same businesses in the APAC region, meaning a number of clients will now be able to benefit from the ability to request a reference directly from their ATS of choice. Multiple clients have already requested the integration and will be switched on progressively over the coming weeks.

Mark Rice, CEO, PageUp said: “We are thrilled to offer our customers the benefits of the combined capabilities of PageUp and Xref’s platforms. The feedback we received from customers has been incredibly positive, and this is a testament to our shared commitment with Xref to delivering best-in-class recruitment tools.”

Claire Pike, Recruitment Manager, Anglicare Sydney said: “As a longstanding user of both PageUp and Xref, we’re delighted about this integration. It is going to make a huge difference to the efficiency of your team and the experience we can offer our candidates as they move through the hiring process.”

Executive director / CEO Lee-Martin Seymour said: “We were delighted to announce our partnership with PageUp in October 2019 and have been so pleased to see it go from strength to strength as the integration has been built. We have a number of mutual clients who are excited about the connection between our two platforms coming to life and we have no doubt the opportunities presented by the integration will grow rapidly for both companies.”
