I just received a cold call from a recruiter who found my LinkedIn profile. They want to set up a Teams meeting to discuss some job openings in my area, and I agreed to it. However, they also requested that I provide two managerial references and two coworker references before the meeting. I find this a bit odd, as I believe references are typically requested later in the hiring process. While I could manage to get two coworker references, I don't have any managerial ones. I'm currently unemployed and unsure if I should ignore their request or inform them that I don't have the references they want. Some people think it's suspicious to ask for references before even having an interview, and I'm starting to feel the same way. Should I proceed with caution?
