I'm considering setting up a reference-gathering service, and I'd like to know if you'd want this.
Today, I ask people to serve as references, but after a year or two they're "stale." I can ask them to write LinkedIn references, but even those who agree often don't bother: I think that it is too much effort for them.
So, this service would call people who have agreed to be your references and write down, with their agreement, the recommendation they have for you. The service would you share it to employers that you are interviewing with.

Is this a service you want for yourself?
