yes, doing what the previous poster did - giving vague "bad signals" even against company's policies - is what i consider immature and discriminatory.
references in form of background check - worked years a, b, c, on projects x, y,z - yes, sure.
references about performance, likability, etc - why ? how are you going to judge that ? are the references legit ? are you going to get references on the reference giving people ? are you gonna research the excompanies culture to judge tbe referential credibility ?
you're just fooling yourself giving any meaning to this, you could be as well tossing a coin.
- sk0g 8y agoReference = "A letter from a previous employer testifying to someone's ability or reliability, used when applying for a new job." [0] What even is your rant about? Managers especially can easily tell your performance, how you get along with everyone, etc. That's the whole fucking POINT of a reference. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/reference https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/reference
- leetcrew 8y agoin most cases, people are only getting called up for a reference because the applicant specifically chose to list them. if the only person they could think of to use as a reference has nothing good to say (or gives subtle negative signals) that's a pretty strong sign there's something wrong with the fellow.
