How do you properly say "reference check" or "employment verification" in Mandarin? I noticed that when I say I need to do a 背景调查, people get scared and tend to cut the conversation off. So what I normally say is 我要核查您以前工作人员的工作信息. I sometimes substitute "工作人员" to the actual job title of the person, eg. 会计. I believe I'm saying it incorrectly because although some people do understand what I mean, others still ask me what I'm talking about. I'm hoping that somebody here can help me out. Thank you in advance!

company president How do you say "company president" in Chinese? There are several terms and I'm not sure which one is the most appropriate. This will be printed in a business card. Thanks in advance!Not sure how I can reply here, so I'll just use this feature. Thanks for your replies. Seems like 总裁 is more appropriate coz of the definition, but 3 of you have said 主席, so I'm not sure which to follow? Also the term 董事长 is way off right?
