References: 5 reasons to withhold them

In the April 11, 2017 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter, a reader rejects recruiters who demand references before an interview. Question What do you think of recruiters demanding the identity of my references  — and demanding to check them — often before there’s even any expression of interest from the hiring manager? Some recruiters get seriously butt-hurt when I won't instantly hand over references, and claim they won’t submit me otherwise. I would be nuts to have my references called every time some recruiter decides it would be convenient to check them. I never give references except directly to hiring managers
