compel sounds too harsh/strong-handed
the agency put in request to the relevant dept to screen/check the fella
up to the agency that receive the request to evaluate and decide whether to decline request or not
if really they try to do reference check but can't yield anything ie the other party nvr respond or decline, up to hiring agency/dept/SB/ministry need to make sense on whether to risk or not
simple common sense mah
