Great advice. In my experience, prospective employers don't tell you if you had a bad reference, when pressed, they simply claim that another applicant was better qualified. This service also avoids the problems associated with secretly recording telephone calls. In some states it it illegal, while in other states one party to the conversation may consent to the recording.

I used their Canadian office (same type of service I guess). Their report showed that my ex-supervisor was slandering me to potential employers. My attorney got me a pretty good settlement. Best of all, my ex-supervisor got fired. How's that for justice!

The reason I used Documented Reference Check was because they use Certified Court Reporters. I didn't want any problems with opposing attorneys challenging the report. It worked. Thanks for the recommendation.

I used http://www.badreferences.com and caught my slimy ex-boss slandering me. These guys (Documented Reference Check) really know what they are doing. They settled as soon as they heard the name, "Documented Reference Check."
