There's no code. If they say they were great, they were possibly great. There are so many reasons for a terse confirmation of employment. Foremost would be that you're talking to HR and they're following a fixed process. A process that exists for a reason: Even a positive review with good intentions could be framed as injurious to the candidate's prospects.
- Clubber 8y agoWho gives HR as a reference?
- anothergoogler 8y agoWho gives somebody who would only state their dates of employment as a reference? We must be talking about different things here.
- Clubber 8y agoYes, all my references are colleagues. I have their cell / home numbers and emails and all that. The point of references (at least back when I would send resumes to people) is, "did so and so work with you at place and place?" "What kind of work did so and so do?" "How did you like working with so and so?" "What languages did so and so work with?" That sort of thing. I think you are talking employment verification.
