The Importance of References
Often, references provided on a candidate’s CV will undeniably be good ones hence why they are there. But if a candidate has the strong network you’re looking for, it won’t be hard to give someone a quick call or send a LinkedIn message to find out what they’re really like. If you want to find out more about them, further investigate into their sources and try to go to people who they never thought you might ask: their third-to-last employer, or the leader of a church or social club they’ve mentioned as a brief bullet point. Ensure you have the relevant questions to ask the right people to get the answers you are looking for.
