Xref Launches Australian-First Platform to Combat AI-Driven Job Market Despair
Xref has launched Australia’s first candidate‑owned verified career profile platform, Xref.me, to counter the surge of AI‑generated job applications and dwindling trust in traditional resumes.

By delivering verified references within 18‑24 hours, Xref aims to speed hiring and reduce fraud risk.
