There’s no reason they need to contact your current employer. I don’t see anything wrong with that language but if you have questions ask. Tell them what your concern is. It’s a common scenario.
Thank you! I’m probably being overly paranoid!
“I hereby authorize ____ to thoroughly investigate my references, work record, education and other matters related to my suitability for employment and, further, authorize the references I have listed to disclose to the company any and all letters, reports and other information related to my work records, without giving me prior notice of such disclosure. In addition, I hereby release ______, all claims, demands or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such investigation or disclosure.” Is this a red flag to anyone?
Additionally, the separate background check allows me to check no to contacting an employer, but the paperwork at the end doesn’t specify.
Thoughts?
