Does a candidate with references have an advantage over a candidate who has no references?
Another anonymous question from Discord, asking if, all other things being equal between two candidates, is it beneficial in some way to have references to call, versus not having references to call. One consideration here is WHEN the references would be called, and what they're going to say about you. Most references will only verify your employment from a start date to an end date and little else, depending on the company policies. Some people will over-share information.
