I've been on both sides of the coin - I did a lot of interviewing etc
of job candidates when in industy and now I'm in academia.

I simply tell them that I cannot give them a recommendation.  I've only
hand the problem once. 

Of late, I find a lot more companies are calling direct and questioning
me.  I'll be honest, I like that system better - it cuts out the c---.
