Does your organization still regularly check references for most hires? There are very different lines of thinking for how valuable this process is for a potential employer. Some view the checking of references as a mere formality, reasoning that no potential hire is going to provide anything but great references. Others view this process as a way to better understand what traits in a potential hire really stood out to prior employers, peers, etc.
Contractors are ramblers. Every day they saddle up, secure their iron and roll to the next jobsite. Each new morning brings another mission, which means pros need a reliable rig to travel from point A to point B. They also need a comfortable and utilitarian chariot, so they can concentrate on the job at hand and not the transportation to and from. Trucking crews, hauling equipment and overall rapid transit is just another part of the job that needs to be done right.
