How long of a gap do you allow for client okays? Do you want him to have one in the last 3 months, 6 months, a year?
Do you prefer a few references vs just one good one?
Have a guy who has solid references, but the last one was in 2017. I told him I would need someone more recent unless he has a reputable agency he uses who might not have every single girl vouch for him.
In these cases, I'm just a bit leary, because I've heard the horror stories. This particular gentleman has a P411 account in good standing for over 5 years, so it's possible he was in a relationship and didn't hobby during that gap. It certainly happens.
I'm really feeling at this point, employment verification would make me the most secure. Not worried about losing a little cash if he refuses.
Thanks for the input in advance!
