Hi, Is it mandatory to provide managers' contact details during background verification? if yes, can we instead provide HR details in both HR & Manager contact details section?

What if the manager is not in touch or has left the previous organization?

Hello, In many cases, providing managers' contact details is a common practice as they are typically responsible for supervising and evaluating an employee's performance. They may be contacted to verify the employment history, job responsibilities, and other relevant details.
If your manager is no longer with the previous organization or is unavailable, it is advisable to inform the HR department or the organization conducting the background verification about the situation. They may provide alternative options or request additional references to verify your employment history or performance. Regarding providing HR details in both the HR and Manager contact details sections, it may not be ideal as it may be more valuable to have separate contacts for different purposes. The HR contact can provide information about employment dates, roles, ( minecraftle game) and other administrative details, while the manager contact can provide insights into your performance and work-related behavior.
