I think the normal process is to check the cv and ask any previous employer about performance.

As an individual trader, you are incentive to be risky.

Take a big risk and make your company go bust? Maybe you lose a job.

Take a big risk and make 1B? You are getting a fat bonus check.

No. Previous employers do not release any information about a trader's results. The only way that hiring managers can find this information is through personal contacts (or news stories if the blow up was really spectacular).
