An applicant has checked “no” on their application form pertaining to checking references with their current employer. What should I do?
In most cases, the employee does not want the current employer to know that he/she is looking for another job, which is understandable. Once you are certain this person is your top candidate, you should contact that person and tell him/her that a job offer is contingent upon reference checks with previous employers and ask permission to contact the current employer. Typically, a candidate will agree to this knowing that a job offer has been made. If they still decline to allow you to do reference checks, you may want to reconsider your decision to hire the candidate.
