References when moving jobs

Hey,

When moving from one job to the next, references are needed usually, be it Perm or Temp. Understand that basic things like dates of employment, job title, etc get checked. My question is, do they check your reason for leaving ? Also, do they check your main responsibilities and who you reported into/manager position ?

Thanks😀

What if a mismatch between what the candidate gave as reason for leaving and what the leaving employer gave ? Thanks

Unfortunately if there is a mismatch, the hiring employer may see you as untrustworthy if you were to have a different response. Try not to lie in your job interview as if you are caught, you will lose the job essentially.
