>How do you dispute what prior employers said about you?

Are they not doing that already? Even with all the current processes, employers are taking a chance. If a candidate profile is good, can't they take the same chance without all those processes?

Recruiters don't call up a business and just ask "how was X at their job?" They are given a list of referrals by the candidate. I am talking about situations where a toxic boss may say negative things for personal reasons. Currently, the candidate can filter out these by choosing people they assume will give positive reviews.
