    Refrence for going permanet

    I have been out of a job for the last 7 months prior to that I was contracting. Now I have accepted a permanent job in banking. As part of the pre employment screening I have to provide them with reference. What do I need to put down my client or the agency? The client manger no longer works there.

      If you want to post your new manager's name and phone number here, I'll ring him up and find out for you if you like.

        The client, not the agency.

        I've been in a similar position several times, although as a contractor, not a permie. Most of the projects I work on have a contract PM, so he's out the door at the end of the project just like me. Makes using those people as a reference kinda difficult!

        I just pick someone from any prior job I have done. Fortunately, I have two people I've worked with who always give me good references (in fact one is a contractor, and I've returned the favour by giving him a good reference several times.)

        My last gig was a bank, and the initially they got a bit shirty that the references I gave weren't from my previous role. I simply stuck to my guns, telling them I would only ever give them names of referees I could trust. They shut up about it after that, and everything went OK.

              No, it's the Permie version of Skynet, without the Terminators. Just try to imagine being hunted down by a horde of deranged permies. ...Mind you, that sounds like most of my contracts!
