Case Study: Life Without Barriers achieves faster reference turnaround and reduced fraud with Xref

How Xref Reduces Time and Detects Frauds Life Without Barriers

Life Without Barriers, a not-for-profit working in a highly audited sector and supporting vulnerable people, needed consistent, timely reference checks and secure record retention for compliance. To address this, they adopted Xref’s online reference checking software to standardize questionnaires, improve accuracy and ensure audit-ready data.

Xref automated the reference process, provided real-time progress updates, benchmarking for identical roles and a multi-touch fraud algorithm, delivering an audit trail and faster responses. As a result, Life Without Barriers reduced turnaround to an average of 24 hours, collected 2,000+ references with 37% completed outside traditional business hours, improved the quality and quantity of referencing data, and reduced the risk of reference fraud.
