Confusion with application

2 replies

Sloneranger97 · 05/05/2024 18:44

Hi all,
This sounds really silly but I’m quite confused so please help if you can🙈
I’m in the process of completing an application, and as usual, they have asked for references. I have put down my current and last employer as references, however, there is a little tick box that says okay to contact?. Not sure if this means okay to contact before the interview (as some companies do say that they will) or if it’s okay for them to contact if I get an offer. Not sure what to make of it as I wouldn’t like to tick yes and then have them contact my current employer before an offer.(I’d like to leave as quickly and quietly as possible) 😳 . Thanks in advance

I'd leave it unticked. When you get an interview you can always clarify. I read that as they can contact your referees before/without telling you. You might choose to tick for previous employer and leave the current one unticked.

Unticked. Only let them get references if offered/accept the job.
