How can I convince an applicant's former employers to talk?
I run a small business, and am interested in hiring a salesperson. However, I'm finding it hard to get any real information from applicants' former employers -- all they seem to be willing to tell me is the applicant's title and dates of employment. How can I get more information out of these people?
