> You can't. At least in infosec the managers at the place you are applying to will call up your current manager and as many of your coworkers as they can about you. The last place I interviewed at, even before the interview random coworkers were asking me about it.

That seems extremely unprofessional. I wouldn't work at such a place. It seems like a tactic to force you to move.

Yeah, unprofessional for sure, to be fair only some hiring managers do this but I found out it is best to assume they will. Not just to force a move but so when their guys are trying to leave they get the favor returned by others calling them. One time, my boss grilled me about what I put on the resume and then when I accepted he kept asking if I have news for him (hardly ever talk to him before lol), and a coworker asked me about my move the next day (different role than what i mentioned earlier). Scummy trashy behavior, I wonder why they respect themselves so little.
