Faculty Contact Reference Checks Form

• If confidential letters of recommendation were not required from finalists, references should be contacted before an offer is made.
• Faculty references should be from advisors, faculty mentors or senior colleagues, department chairs, deans, or research collaborators.
• Do not call the candidate's current employer for a reference check without informing the candidate.
• Avoid questions that are non-work related.
• Ask the same basic questions of each reference.
• Reference notes must be saved in the search file.
