Can a company hire someone then do references after the fact?

In: Jobs [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Yes, but it's not too smart. Some employers will wait till they have a concern then check to see what they missed. Personally I do not check personal or job references unless the position is highly sensitive or the reference is important in determining certain skills. Personal references are rarely checked. Provide 3 references; business/job related, social (clergy, club, fraternity etc.), and educational (professor, teacher)
