How about everyone stops being a mug and giving out references until they've signed a contract.
Then the agents will eventually stop asking. It's annoying enough without some of you giving them a sniff in the vain hope you've got a job on the line.

For me there's been at least one. Venn seem to insist on it - I've advised them that referees would vary depending upon the role. It's becoming more of a moot point these days as references should now only confirm that you were in the contract.

Yes. It is totally necessary.

Just tell him you will be happy to give references at or after the interview, if he insists they are needed before forget it there is no job
