Finland. For the Finnish speakers among us, it's "Laki yksityisyyden suojasta työelämässä". [0]

Employers do ask opinions from employees within the company if they've worked together in the past. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not sure if that's grey area or not.

I don't find the law excessive, but I'm quite privacy oriented to start with.

Thanks! I don't read Finnish so I'm reading your link in translation, but I don't see where in the law it says employers can't use outside sources of information in evaluating potential candidates? Could you point me to that section?
