Reference Check !

I find it very interesting how much time companies are spending on reference check and still not getting it right. The most interesting part is the unwillingness to explore alternate paths. I find in my experience that a lot of a person's life is out there in public. Social networking sites provide you with ample information about a person. Looking at frauds, they manage a very subtle life. Nowhere their life is available. They do not exist on linkedin, orkut, facebook or any such places. Leading an aloof life with the fraud they are continuing.
