Nobody in the current reference checking process is well-served.
It's a recurring theme: contractors chasing referees for references, sometimes multiple times a year, whenever a new contract comes up. A poor reference can also jeopardise a job opportunity. For referees, it's a constant interruption, answering the same questions repeatedly. For recruiters, it's a bottleneck. An unreachable referee delays offers, delays contract starts, and can cost them the candidate.The system is reactive by design and hasn't changed since the 1970s. References are only collected when urgently needed, and without a central database, every engagement starts from zero. Few people realise the career data being requested about them belongs to them under Australian privacy law. Yet they never see it, control it, or keep it.
A verified portfolio that grows with your career and works for everyone.
The Wotsam approach is different. It enables contractors to proactively collect AI-assisted, verified references from current or past clients and managers, before a role comes up.When the next contract arises, the references are already there, ready to send. No chasing referees, no delays for recruiters, and fewer interruptions for busy referees.A permanent portfolio of verified professional records that grows with your career and stays with you. Best of all, it's completely free for contractors.

Why I Built Wotsam
After 15 years contracting, I'd obtained 18 references across 9 jobs and never seen a single one. That felt wrong. So I designed and built Wotsam to fix it.
