Reference Check

Mirchandanis Career Placements India Pvt . Ltd specializes in Reference Check. Many companies check references as part of the recruitment process. A reference check is when a company contacts a candidate’s previous employer, schools, colleges & other sources to check out more about his or her background & educational qualifications for a job.

What is involved in a Reference Check?

A Reference check can consist ofnumerous steps. The company could simply verify dates of work and designation, marks at college / school and the courses attained.

An in-depth reference check will include talking to references to get insight into the candidate’s skills, education qualifications &skills to do the job.

The company wants to check that you have the work history and education qualifications that you have stated on your CV/Resume or Cover letter. The company also wants to know whether you have the right ability set for the job, and whether you will fit in well at the association.

Permission for Reference Checks

The company will need your consent if they are conducting a credit-check or using a third party to check you out. Your consent may also be required for your school documents or other educational info to be released.

Company best practices include asking for consent prior to talking to anyone about you. Most companies informapplicants that they can expect to have references checked & you may be asked to sign a form that gives permission for a reference check.

Some MNC have laws which regulate consent requirements and what an employer can ask about former staffs. Some of these laws provide company protections & immunity from liability for disclosing member of staff info.

However, in many MNC the company doesn’t need your consent except when you have requested them not to contact your current company.

In addition, the association can check with other persons than those on the list of references that you may have provided them. It’s acceptable to talk to anyone who may be able to share info on your work experience.

What is Back-Door Reference Checking?

Back-Door reference checking is when an company checks with individuals you don’t list as a reference. Those individuals could be former coworkers or supervisors or other sources the organization finds who can speak to your educations qualifications. The same laws & protections, for both the candidate and company, apply.

When Reference Checks Are Conducted

In most cases, references are checked before acompany offering a job to the candidate. Some companies will ask for references to be disclosed in the CV/Resume. In that case, your references could be communicated before you get an interview call. Based on the outcomes of the reference check you may or may not be called for an interview.

When you give somebody’s name as a reference be sure that they are aware that may receive a call. Tell them about the job vacancy you’re applying for, so they are ready to discuss why you would be a good prospective candidate for the job vacancy.
