Is looking for job still existing in Nigeria?

Mbuhari2023:
Can I be a referee for someone looking for a job in an organization iam currently working from?

louqas:
Yes its still existing
Or how else will we know if theres unemployment

Truvelisback:
It's very dangerous especially if the person u are standing as a referee is not trustworthy. If the person commits crime and runs away, u will be held responsible, pay his/her or the debt or be punished for his or her crime.

WoundedLamb:
I believe you are referring to a guarantor. A referee has no legal obligation. He's just someone that can be called to confirm whatever the candidate wrote in his resume.

They mean the same. From ur opinion, What are the difference?

WoundedLamb:
A referee is a person who can recommend the person who you are considering hiring for the particular role. Thier job is to vouch for the qualifications or characters the candidate claims to have. A referee is typically for former teacher (for freshman grads), a former boss/supervisor or a well known person in the same field. Typically, you only need to supply thier contact details.

A guarantor is someone who offers a guarantee or a promise of certainty that if the person you hired doesn’t turn out to be who they have posed to be, they will bear fully the liability or partially (depending on the agreement) resulting from it. Typically, it is advised that a guarantor is someone who has known and is very familiar with the candidate for a certain period of time. This can be anyone (even family members). The guarantor must be comfortable with giving out personal information (sometimes, bank account details).

So you see, they play different roles and only certain kinds of organizations ask for guarantors. Some organizations (mostly financial and government organizations) don't accept the same person as a guarantor and referee). Finally, there's always a text before the guarantor's signature that gives a full detail of what he's signing while the referee doesn't have that.

The site is doing well .com.

Truvelisback:
They mean the same thing. The only difference is just that their demands. Anyone who knows u well could be ur referee or gaurantor.

WoundedLamb:
No they don't. I just gave you the difference. If they were the same thing, financial institutions wouldn't be asking for both and even insist the same person shouldn't be used for both roles. A few examples below:

1) Do you have a domicillary account with GT bank? Well, take a look at the form, you'd both roles are required and the requirement is that only someone that has a dorm account with the bank can act as a guarantor.

2) Have you ever posed as a guarantor or referee for someone who got a banking job? Well, I have be asked to do both in the past and the requirement was that I must submit something called BVN to be accepted as a guarantor. I ended up posing as the referee instead.

3) Have you ever been asked to be a referee or a guarantor for someone applying for citizenship? I have and again, the requirements are different.

Finally, you have Google. But if you just want to keep repeating "they are the same!" it's fine. I just needed to clarify that for the OP and others reading the thread.


Enjoy yourself!

WowSweetGuy:
That's even d Best kind of Referee the company would love

Truvelisback:
Why i said they are the same is because without providing them, u won't be employed. The management would call them call to know things abt u and to ensure the person they are employing is trustworthy.

simplesearch:
There is no ado here. A referee is different from a guarantor except where the referee chooses to be both. In order word you can be a referee without being a guarantor. @Op, if you feel insecure about what the person's character could turn out in the future which could cost you your job, then you can limit yourself to been his referee based on past record of interactions. That way you free yourself from all likely future entanglement, only a guarantor is under legal obligation.
