This is an outrage. How slack are those requests?
They have missed out blood type, medical history and sexual orientation.
Incompetents.

Here in NL, many agents have now gone from demanding 2 ‘references’ to 4 or even 5 'references' from hiring managers (not just the contractor PM), including contact details etc as a pre-condition to offering the CV to the ClientCo. Quite interesting that the rise in the ‘reference’ requirement should coincide with a serious dip in the market whereby some agencies have lost their one big client. Hmmmm, I wonder why.
