What is FEIR?+–
FEIR is a service for collecting and sharing professional references. It lets you ask the people you have worked with, document the context of each collaboration, verify where the answers come from, and select the references you want to share.
Collecting is most relevant at the end of a collaboration, when the facts are recent and no hiring or sales selection process is under way.
How is a FEIR reference different from a LinkedIn recommendation?+–
A FEIR reference documents its context: the referee's identity, role, engagement and period. The referee can confirm or qualify the declared scope, and the person it is about cannot change the answer.
FEIR thus offers a different level of context and traceability from a recommendation published on a professional profile.
Does the person recommending me need to create an account?+–
No. They receive a secure link by email and can answer the questionnaire in about five minutes, with no account to create.
How much does FEIR cost?+–
Collecting references is free, with no limit on the number of references.
Who can see my references?+–
Your references stay private until you share them. You choose which references are presented and which recipients get access.
