Some employers may wish to check your past work or education by obtaining references.


This helps employers ensure you’re a responsible and trustworthy worker and will fulfil the duties and requirements of your new role.


Sometimes employers want a more detailed report about your previous work experience to confirm that the CV you presented at the interview stage is accurate.


Reference checks can also help to reduce the risk of fraud or misinformation and ensure that the new hire is a good fit for the company culture and work environment.


Employers may also carry out checks on your education history to ensure that you've been transparent about your academic or professional qualifications.
