The final point of the selection process involves the employer contacting the referees that have been provided by the candidate. Typically, referee checks are conducted by employers in order to:
- Confirm what the candidate has demonstrated and revealed throughout the selection process
- Obtain a different perspective of the candidate
- Ensure that the candidate is reliable
- Assist them with making a decision between two candidates
It is important to ensure that:
- You have provided a minimum of two and a maximum of 4 referees
- Your referees can talk about you in work terms (academic is ok)
- Your referees know that you have them listed as referees
- Know what your referees are likely to say about you
