Yes, but the same companies in the US have no problem asking for professional references when they are the ones hiring you.

- AceyMan 2y agoReferences are going the way of the dodo bird, anyway. In my circles, job seekers don't bother offering them and employers are ending the practice of asking for them. (411: I'm in the LAX market & a best friend is an HR executive.)
- ghaff 2y agoYeah. They're probably still sort of a pro-forma sort of thing in many cases but I'd be surprised if people still checked them for professional jobs in a systematic way. Of course, doesn't mean you don't check in with folks you know who have worked with the person at your company and elsewhere.
