what to ask for reference check
* Determine the relationship between the referee and the candidate and donât be surprised to find they have a personal connection. * Know which questions are off limits for a reference check. For instance, areas like religion, sex, marital status and ethnic heritage are no-go zones for reference checks. * Ask the right questions. When interviewing a previous employer, always remember to ask whether that person would rehire the candidate, if given the choice, and for what position.
