DE Shaw reference check

Hi! I just wanted to ask about the D.E Shaw Reference check for their 2027 fundamental position. I am curious as to exactly how they check for unpaid internships because as a sophomore all three of my previous internships were unpaid. I am just not exactly certain if the companies would respond? However, I can provide email and other proof of work. Thanks to a lot to anyone who read my post and responds! :)
