[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've worked in federal government for 20 years. Federal government is always "offer conditioned on a reference." Never an interview conditioned on a reference.[/quote] It really depends on the agency and the office. IIRC, the OPM guidelines on reference checks are vague to nonexistent. The professional thing to do is contact references only after an interview and only after notifying the candidate, and the current supervisor should only be contacted if the agency expects to make an offer. Sadly, many offices pull crap like contacting references before interviewing or contacting current supervisors for five final round candidates when they expect to make only one offer.[/quote]
