I am employed by a consulting company and working as a consutant developer for X company.

I am applying for a job where I should put the name of my current employer. The problem is that, my consulting company isn't well informed about my work and I really don't want to tell them that I leaving. I don't like them and I am not well paid. I planning my next move quietly till i get accepted of course. Hope it's not mean. Whereas the manager of the X company knows me very well. He always speaks highly of me.

In the job application there is the possibility to forbid the company that i am applying to contact my current employer. I can use it but I would love them to contact my manager at X company.

I was thinking of 3 things:

  • Is it possible to put the name of my consulting company as current employer and use the name of the manager at X company in case they want to contact him?
  • Is it possible to put the name of current employer X and use the name of the manager at X company in case they want to contact him?
  • Is it possible to put the name of both consulting and X company and give both their names? name of my manager at the consulting company and name of manager at X company?

Since you are employed by the contracting company, that is the name you must use.

If you are asked for referrals, you can use anyone you prefer, including the manager of company X where you are deployed. Make sure you ask permission of this manager before you use their name as a reference.
