Sure - if I'm an employee.

When I've been a hiring manager, I hated doing reference checks. I considered them a waste of time.

Of course the candidate is going to list people with glowing recommendations.

But even if I got an honest, straightforward answer, I still found the information useless because there was a completely different job involved, or a completely different company and culture.

I tend to hope that my long-term stays at two of my jobs shines brighter than anything else on there. -- nm - Qale Dec 2, 11:16 1
