Most companies today will not allow individual managers to give reference checks for liability reasons. They usually have to call Human Resources. In the case of some large corporations (think Fortune top 10 or the like) there is a special 800 number that a potential employer calls. It is an automated system they dial in your social and it confirms you were an employee.

At my current company we are not allowed to give any information to someone calling for a reference check other than to transfer them to HR or advise them that they will need to call back and speak with someone in HR.
