Reffy empowers students and academic institutions to succeed by making it easy to provide highly tailored reference letters for every student. Better references = better student outcomes.
Developed in partnership with professors, teachers, students, and software engineers, Reffy is a leader in college and career placement technology.
Millions of students request references each year. Fulfilling these requests was complicated, time consuming, and difficult... until Reffy.
RefBuilder and BragSheet simplify collaboration between students and their mentors. It has never been easier to request or write highly tailored reference letters.
The best references are unique, well-structured, and tailored to the applicant. Reffy saves writers up to two hours writing these high-impact letters.
Better references get better results: more jobs and scholarships, higher college and graduate school placement rates, and more. Reffy boosts outcomes while saving time with authentic, accurate letters every time.
Reffy makes it easy to help students succeed.
We're here to make your life easier. No more stress for your faculty and staff. And no more cookie-cutter letters that hurt your students' chances of success.
Our powerful organizational tools save up to two hours per letter and help faculty stay organized. Even last minute requests are easy to fulfill, and missed deadlines are a thing of the past.
Research shows traditional letters often express implicit or explicit bias. Reffy software is designed to reduce gender bias, break down socio-economic barriers, and protect user privacy.
Reffy automatically organizes requests, collects applicant information, and writes a personalized first draft of every letter so students receive exceptional, tailored letters – every time.
Reffy was born of necessity. As a professor at Emory University, Reffy's founder had requested, written, and reviewed countless reference letters. Students needed references for many reasons. But faculty members rarely have time to provide the highly personalized letters that students deserve and need. So, Justin developed a new process for helping his students succeed, and paired up with Rafael Piloto, a brilliant computer scientist, to lead the team of engineers who created Reffy's flagship RefBuilder platform. The rest, as they say, is history.
