Reference

Post by CHUCKYPIG »

Hello. I've just handed in my notice and my new employer wants a reference from my current / latest employer, i.e. royal mail.

They want the reference from HR and they want an email address and a telephone number.

Does anyone know the email address and phone number that i should give?

Cheers

I don't think RM do references.

If you can find a decent manager (good luck) see if they'll do a phone reference.

References
Can I use Royal Mail as a referee?
Yes, Royal Mail will supply job references directly to any new employer on request by them to thirdpartyenquiries@royalmail.com. You will also need to provide your consent for us to share that information with them. You will receive a template consent form once you have left employment.
The reference will be factual and confirm:
• your dates of employment; and
• your job title.

Thanks. However I do need the reference before I actually leave royal mail as I have a conditional job offer and they want the reference now to make it unconditional. I have sent them the thirdpartyenquiries@royalmail.com email and hopefully my new employer and royal mail can sort it out between them.

How do I give you consent for you to share the information?

This is from third party enquiries

“If the person the reference is regarding (i.e. yourself can write a sentence down on paper giving consent, sign it & take a picture with their phone, if we can be sent that picture, that would meet our requirements”

They will provide this while you are still employed.
