Your references can make your break your job search. Its important to go into your job search with the confidence that your references will be an asset.
Allison & Taylor reference checking company has been providing professional reference checking and employment verification services since 1984. During the past 30 years they have heard it all: discrimination in many forms, references explaining the relationships / sleeping habits of former employees, HR Managers refusing to comment until the “litigation is complete” and Board Members who say “Are you sure he listed me as a reference?”
A reference does not need to be illegal in order to sabotage a job search. Reference checking services are important because a mediocre job reference can be enough for the job offer to go to another candidate. For instance, inaccurate information on position title, dates of employment or reason for separation, an untimely return phone call or the tone in a reference’s voice could send the wrong message to a prospective employer doing your reference checking. Employing reference checking and reference consulting services prior to your job search can help you get the job you want.
As basic as the need for a good job reference is, many candidates take little time or effort in being assured through reference checking that the references submitted to prospective employers are, in fact, providing the type of recommendation expected.
Before you lose that perfect job due to an unfavorable reference, take the time to ensure that your references are responding appropriately to employment inquiries. The simplest and most effective way is to conduct a reference check(s) through a professional reference checking company like Allison & Taylor. If a reference check confirms negative or inappropriate feedback, their documented response gives you the foundation recourse for action to prevent further career damage.
The use of a professional reference checking firm, such as AllisonTaylor.com, to check your job references, and employment verification prior to submitting them is highly recommended. The potential employer / job reference contact may dramatically affect your future, the outcome of which is far too important to be left to chance.
