They do work but are not foolproof. I always ask to speak with the person's current manager. Its usually possible to discerne whether the manager is sorry to lose the employee or not.
- joezydeco 15y agoWhen you say "current", you mean you talk to the manager that probably doesn't know his employee is interviewing for a new job? I bet that ends well.
- mavelikara 15y agoHow many times have you taken a call from someone who is doing a reference check on one of your current employees?
- AppSec 15y agoEven though I never give references until an offer has been agreed to, I generally will not give my current manager for various reasons -- first it is just way too awkward.
