Permission in implied by the act of applying for the job, or the offering
of services, etc...

As Gig says, permission is not implied. Nor should it be. It's reasonable
for a prospective employer to make disclosure of such documents a prequisite
for hiring, but the employer needs to be explicit about that requirement,
and the applicant needs to be explicit about giving permission.
