AttendanceI used to be a headhunter. Yes, you can definitely ask candidates or prior employers about attendance, performance, attitude, etc. They would only have prior employers contact info if you gave them as a reference though.

More opinions from FAQ Farmers:

  • I don't think they can ask about your attendance. But that doesn't mean that they won't or that your previous owner won't tell them. Allowed to and actually doing can be two different things.
  • An employer can ask about attendance but how many honest people are there that will admit attendance issues. That is one of the few things still can be asked but hard too verify.

Attendance inquires about another person could be classified as confidential, but it will certainly depend on the type of job that you are being hired for. If I am going to hire a doctor. Attendance will be a question to ask. I we are looking to hire a baby sitter, that is a question to be asked. In other areas attendance may not be important to someone who may do very well in his or her job. I would rather want to learn more about their experience and performance level overall. How well does the employee get along with others. Some attendance issues can be under jurisdictions of medical leave, bereavement leave and even compensation leave. If however someone has a history of constant absences it is something to want to ask about and it's best to ask that directly to the person you are interviewing first and then get another opinion from his or her supervisor or other employees who know the person well.
