Unregistered Would like to ask if most companies will ask for referees? One of the things holding me back from changing jobs is the referee check. I think my performance is decent but I am quiet and introverted and do not keep in contact with ex-bosses and colleagues, hence nobody to ask to be my referee..

Unregistered Not OP, but I think he/she might be referring to reference check and/or background check? Since both are usually done together

The qn is you want A or B ? You are waiting to start A but you are worried B will find out you are
going to start work at A ? Do you even know what are reference checks ?

As long as they are 'still preparing/drafting' the contract, they can check reference anytime. Nothing is more embarrassing than having your offer rescinded after you signed the contract.

They can check before or after you signed anything. No difference. It is entirely up to the management.

not really. I think they focus more on other things.
