[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these stories of people contacting colleagues and bosses without permission are awful. I would love to see the interviewers doing this get some serious payback - like wouldn't it be funny if the exact same thing were done to them next time they're on the job market. I hope this isn't a trend.[/quote] Contacting a current boss without the candidate's knowledge/approval is pretty bad, but otherwise I don't agree with you. If I happen to know somebody who can give me an insight on the candidate, I will do so. In fact, I think it would reflect poorly on me as a hiring manager if I didn't do that. It costs me a lot of time and money to hire and train someone, and I don't want to make a mistake. And yes, it has happened to me as a candidate as well - my current boss called my former colleague to ask about me. I wasn't asked for a list of references before that call took place. [/quote]
