通过了interview, 收到email说 are down to the last two candidates now and would like to do reference checks.
这也就是说道了最后还是要二选一,check 了reference 后又不要,被公司知道我要走了,不是很不好吗? 作者: sun 时间: 2012-2-16 13:33:08
You certainly aren’t obligated to provide your current employer as a reference. However, if the company you’re interviewing with is insisting on it, be aware that refusing may take you out of consideration as a result.
However, this is pretty unusual. Most companies understand why candidates don’t want their current employer contacted, and it’s odd that this one is insisting. Usually, the current employer is either skipped or is contacted only after they’ve decided to make an offer — which they make contingent on a good reference from your current employer.
In the rare instance where a company absolutely insists on contacting your current boss before making an offer, these are your options:
1. Take the risk and allow it. Warn your boss ahead of time. Some people in this situation tell their boss they’re applying for a part-time or volunteer position, although I think that’s risky.
2. If you’ve had a previous boss at your current job who has now moved on, ask the company if they’d contact her instead.
3. Hold firm with this company. Tell them you are not able to jeopardize your current employment without a firm offer in hand from them, but that you’d be happy to supply many other references and to allow them to contact your current company once you have an offer (which can be contingent on that reference check, assuming you know the reference will be fine). You might even throw in a mention that it’s highly unusual for a company to insist on contacting a candidate’s current employer at this stage; maybe you’re dealing with someone clueless. You can also throw in, “In this economy, it’s not a risk I can take.” If they don’t understand that, consider that a pretty substantial red flag about this new company.
Personally, I’d do #3. What do others think?作者: 呵呵 时间: 2012-2-16 14:29:15
You are under no obligation to do that. An employer cannot contact your current employer without your permission. They cannot force you, but they seem to be trying that - that is not good business practice and unprofessional. Simply tell them that you have not told them you are looking and you do not want them to contact your current employer. Offer another kind of reference if you can. Since it seems they are insisting, my advice is to look elsewhere - these people would likely give you trouble. You have a right to your privacy and do not have to jeopardize your job for a potential one. If you have not told the potential employer this, then you need to do so.
EDIT: Do not let this new employer force you to do something against your wishes. It may sound like it has good potential, but if they can manipulate you into doing something that is questionable they have control.作者: Casalanca 时间: 2012-2-16 14:47:43
