Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

Are reviews anonymous?

The review's requester and employers they share the review with will be able to see the results of the review but not your name.

Learn more about the review process.

What questions am I expected to answer?

While your profile focuses on where you worked, a review is a recommendation written by a current or former colleague focused on how you work. A Scoutship review helps future employers get to know what you're like to work with and what types of environments you thrive in.

To that end, we ask three questions about candidates:

• Their strengths

• What they're like to work with

• What cultures they do their best work in

How long do I have to complete the review?

A review link does not expire, however reviews must be completed in one session to be saved. Please ensure you have at least 5 minutes available to complete the review before starting.

Learn more about the review process.

Where can I see the results of a review?

Once at least two reviews have been completed, the aggregated results will be visible in the candidate's profile by default.

Reviewers will not be able to see their reviews after they have been submitted.

Can I edit or delete a review?

To revise a review you’ve given or delete a review please email us with the subject "Review." Please provide the name of the candidate whose review you would like to change.

Why are there no open response fields?

To protect candidate's anonymity, we limit what information can be provided in a review. Open response fields risk accidently revealing a candidate's name, gender and current or previous employer.

Can I decline a review?

If you receive a review request, you can decline the request and aren’t required to respond.
