Description
Righteo, formerly known as Ref Hub, is a hiring platform built around two things: skill assessments and reference checks, both used to verify a candidate before an offer goes out. The company describes the rebrand as a name change only, with the same underlying platform and team behind it, and its onboarding still points new sign-ups toward the same portal used under the Ref Hub name.

Assessments can be built three ways: chosen from a library of more than 600 expert-built tests spanning categories such as cognitive and aptitude, blue-collar and warehousing, administrative and office skills, compliance and safety, and finance and accounting; generated automatically from a job description through Righteo's AI Assessment Builder, which turns the JD into a role-specific set of validated and AI-generated questions; or built entirely from scratch with full control over questions, skill groups and weighting. On the reference-checking side, Righteo automates sending, following up on and collecting reference checks, with built-in fraud detection, replacing the older manual process of phone calls and chasing responses.
Righteo runs a pay-as-you-go model: new accounts get $50 of free trial credit with no credit card required, and usage is billed from there rather than through a fixed monthly subscription; larger accounts can book a demo for a custom quote based on hiring volume. The company reports it is used by more than 1,200 Australian businesses, and publishes customer testimonials from recruitment agencies, aged-care providers and retailers describing faster reference turnaround and fewer manual follow-ups; it also lists reviews through G2, still filed under its former Ref Hub name. It integrates with recruitment tools such as JobAdder.
Righteo is aimed at recruiters, HR teams and hiring managers who need to screen candidates at volume, across industries from aged care and disability support to warehousing and administration, rather than a general-purpose HR system. Company details on its site list it as Ref Hub PTY LTD, part of Chandler Holdings, based in Melbourne, Australia.
