[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that many employers would only confirm dates of employment and salary. [b]I guess personal references are different[/b]?[/quote] Often, yes. The "we only confirm dates/salary" policy is if anyone makes an official inquiry, that is calls HR. If the candidate provides personal references, those people may be able to provide them. But, I have also worked for one employer who explicitly prohibited anyone from giving references - we were instructed, if contacted in regards to a reference, to send the person to HR, who then would only verify dates (not even sure they would verify salary). It was a big company and I guess they were really weary of any potential lawsuits.[/quote]
