    References asked before Interview setup

    Hi,
    Has anybody experienced a situation whereby Recruitment agencies ask for previous employer references even before setting up an interview ? Are these job agencies fake or are planning to gain business by calling the references ?

    Others will chime in but just to get you started: https://forums.contractoruk.com/busi...eferences.html
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      What do you mean by "employer"?

        If you are on contract they mean your agent. End clients never give references for contractors. Agencies would.

        Of course they only give start date, end date and end client.

        Any agent wanting more is pulling your chain.
