Hi all, I am new to the forum.

Just to check if anyone had come into this situation in job search.

I got a job offer from a new employer, on condition of successful pre-employment check.

But the pre-employment check needs to contact the current employer for the reference check on my current role. I had asked the new employer if payslip with current employer could be used as proof to serve the purpose, but it could not be accepted.

As a job applicant, ideally I would like to see the confirmed offer before handing in resignation. But this is not quite possible under the situation, and the policy of the new employer really put me in an awkward position. It looks like I need to hand in resignation, make the pre-employment check completed, only then get the offer confirmed.

Hoping to see if anyone has similar experience shared. Thanks.
 
Do you work for a small company? In most cases they'll contact HR and get confirmation on your job role.
The fact is, I already held up this part.

After all the other parts within the pre-employment check were cleared, I agreed they could contact my current employer a few days ago.

Today the my HR contacted me saying they received an employment reference request. HR said they would only provide the reference after seeing my resignation letter.:(
