[quote=Anonymous]One more scenario: I agreed to be a reference for my former subordinate. One of his potential employers was a staffing agency. I got a call that was ostensibly a reference check, but really a sales pitch, trying to place people on my team. It was awful because the caller hinted that the former team member somehow will have a better chance of finding a job through them if I did business with this agency (the team member did not want to work for our organization anymore, though our relationship was cordial). I was really p!ssed off after the call. Luckily, this agency made no money on this person, who is now gainfully employed elsewhere. TL; DR. If you are a jobseeker signing up with a staffing agency, they do not just require references to check your background, but also to develop business with your managers.[/quote]
