Reference & Reference check

This reference check is a FORM (using the [TAB] key) built by the recruitment agency, and implies we are simply 'checking on what has been told to us', although none of this information is revealed. It seeks a reference from someone who the candidate has offered as a 'possibe referee'. In 'relationship', it applies to a Director, an Employer, a Team Leader, a Mentor, a Peer, an Underling, or an 'Other'. It discusses confidentiality, Privacy Act 2008, passing on, and then asks key questions.

Certificate of wages/salaries provided by employee. It declares under a Cth statutory declaration earnings over the last five years. Provided to back up a tender or corporate requirement or for stamping by Dept of Foreign Affairs as required by UN or foreign government.

An example of a detailed testimonial given by a third party, which because of its impartial nature and enthusiasm can be considered to be quite valuable and useful in increasing the chances of employment. It is especially useful to those people who find it difficult to get a positive reference from the current employer or fear that they will not get one because of lack of impartiality on the part of the current employer.

This is a "to whom it may concern" form of reference, still used in Australia but considered to be of less importance because of its general nature and because of the lack of confidentiality, reducing the honesty of the referee. It is "to whom it may concern" because the Referee doesn't want to get involved, but is happy to act as referee and will back up the reference if required to do so. In this case the applicant has gone to the referee and explained the new position to him/her.

This analysis looks at every level of the Job Profile and asks the questions: is it required or just desirable?, does the applicant have it? and, if so, how can this be verified? This therefore includes all interactions involved in the original design of the job profile at the unit level. It shows four levels of verification and the basic questions that need to be asked. For example, any ticks in the boxes in the column for referees would indicate the questions that need to be asked of the referee.
