I was sent a cv from an recruitment agency the other day.

The agent said that the candidate was immediately available as he had posted his CV on a job board and another agency had found it and sent it to his employer, and his employer put him on gardening leave. If you were an employer would you dismiss someone in these circumstances (he had been there about 6 years)?

I'm also worried he might have been dimissed from his previous employer for something else and they are telling me this as they don't want me to check references from that employer. However if it wasn't for this his CV looks good and we would invite him for an interview. Would you invite him for an interview?
