it is a legal requirement to check references if you opt in. But they don't have to do it before you interview/get an offer.

If anyone does that to me, I would ask them to point me to the piece of government legislation that states this is the case and that if I did not hear back from them, I will assume that they are phishing for opportunities.

More spamming for references....

Just received this one accompanied by a form requesting FOUR references.....

As part of the SLA i cannot put any CV's forward to my client unless i have previously referenced them, this is a very quick conversation with your test manager in order to validate your previous experience"

5 out of 10 for cheek
