There's an option to tick saying don't contact reference before interview. Does that mean they only contact my current employer if they intend to give me a job offer?

That's correct (my understanding anyway)

I’d expect that to mean they won’t conduct any reference checks prior to you attending an interview, personal or professional.

I think most recruiters would appreciate that candidates wouldn’t want references from their current employer BEFORE interview.

They’d miss out on the best talent if they did, surely.

Ive just jad the idea of asking informally to the advertiser, to ask them.

It's a permanent job whereas my current job is agency. The work seems ro be drying up and not sure if they have anything else i can do. If they knew they might bin me for not showing any comital i thought

It seems to be assumed standard practice in many industries. I get around it by putting "refs upon request" on my CV. I do let my manager know if I'm applying for other stuff though, because it's sensible.

Back in the day if I was applying for INTERNAL company positions I would tell my boss. As they would invariably be told anyway!

Never did for external roles and those companies never requested them before offering me a position anyway.

Not sure if that’s changed now in the current employment environment as it’s been donkeys years since I applied for a job in a corporate.

In education, it's assumed you tell your employer when going to interviews (you usually need a whole day anyway) and it's common to ask for references at the interview stage.

No

Only if they offer and you accept
