Hi , have a question about references. My wife has received a job offer from HSE in the last few weeks .
As part of the process they are looking for " verification of service" of the nursing roles where she worked previously .
She worked in one private hospital from 1995 to 2010 . When she contacted theat private hospitals HR / payroll team ( with her payroll number ) she was told they couldn't give a reference because " they hold no data previous to 2015 due to GDPR " .
Has anyone ever heard anything like that before ? Seems incredible that a hospital would have no information on nursing / medical staff that worked there pre 2015 . Seems to me that my wife is just being fobbed off and they couldn't bother checking .
Does anyone have any advice as the HSE are delaying start of new role until they have received satisfactory verification of service for years worked in the private hospital . Any help would be appreciated ?
