Can a prospective employer contact your previous employers without your consent?
I have heard mixed opinions on this. Some opinions are like there is nothing to stop prospective employers from contacting your previous employers to find out more about you in detail. But on the other hand, i am hearing that legally a prospective employer needs your consent in order to do this and that they cannot go behind your back to contact your previous employers.
