Ive been in a similar situation. I told my new employer to proceed with all checks except the reference check with my current employer until all other checks had come back fine. They agreed
My checks were outsourced and I told the outsourced party the sequence that I preferred and they made it work.
Depends on the company you are in, Barclays had an automated reference where you can request and send it directly to the outsourcing company themselves or to myself directly. I handed in notice once I got the contract as I was sure in my background and the new company stated that whilst they would ask for a reference it had no baring as they had hired from Barclays previously and had no issues
Usually current employer reference check is just calling HR and asking if you work there. And even then it’s all done online nowadays. So you boss won’t even know. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
Agree with the above comment. Larger orgs have online portals for employment verification. This is used for several purposes, including loan applications. Unless you’re at a very small shop, I’d not worry about it.
Congrats on the offer!
I’m in a similar position. Congrats on the new role!
I’ll wait for them to send me the background check forms then I’ll ask HR at the new firm to not contact my current employer:)
I never let my current employer know until I am 100% certain the offer is legit and ready to go. You have the right to tell them not to contact your current employer. The new employer could always rescind the offer, at which case you are out of luck for employement for the moment. Luckily you could probably sue since a reasonable person would not expect the company to rescind and offer after notice was given to a former employer.
