The Reference Check Authorization Form is a crucial document in the Austrian hiring process, designed to facilitate the verification of a candidate's employment history while maintaining compliance with strict European and Austrian data protection regulations. This document becomes necessary when a prospective employer wishes to conduct due diligence on a potential hire by contacting their previous employers. The form must explicitly comply with GDPR requirements and Austrian data protection laws, including the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG). It contains specific authorizations for information sharing, clear consent statements, and defined parameters for data handling. The document is typically used during the final stages of the recruitment process, before making a formal employment offer, and serves to protect all parties involved in the reference checking process.
