• Indications that some of the applicant’s claimed work history come as a surprise to the reference provider. • Hesitations or changes in the reference provider’s speaking pattern that indicate uncertainty or discomfort. • Voice tremors or “canned” responses that may indicate fabrications. • Reference provider does not know what the applicant does. • Reference provider takes a long time to answer, avoids the question or states “I’m not answering that question”. • Reference provider (if he/she was the candidate’s supervisor) refers you to Human Resources.  more
