- Check references after you have interviewed a candidate and they become one of your finalists. Checking references before the interview can create false expectations and affect your ability to evaluate the applicant’s qualifications objectively. This includes any University references.
- Advise the candidate that you will be checking references and ask permission to contact their current supervisor and references.
- Professional references should be with a former supervisor or co-worker.
- If you are conducting manual references, the reference form can be emailed.
- Personal questions should not be asked during reference checks.
- All manual reference check forms must be uploaded to the Hiring Proposal in PeopleAdmin.
- If you are unable to connect with a reference, please notate your attempts on the reference check form and upload to the Hiring Proposal.
