Opinions-Did I get the job?

Hi 9-5, I don't normally post here, but had a quick question.

I had two interviews for a possible job last Thursday and Friday and they said that they would be making a decision sometime this week.  The interviews seemed to go really well.

Yesterday I got an email from the recruiter saying that they had activated the background/reference check on me, and that a third party does this and it could take up to 5 days.  The reason for the email was so I could call the third party vendor that does the reference check and give them my info.

So I am taking this as a very good sign that I got the job-they wouldn't go through all this trouble if they weren't going to hire me would they? 

Re: Opinions-Did I get the job?

  • It probably means you're a finalist, and if the background check goes well, they will likely give you an offer.

    But nothing's set in stone until they actually make you an offer.

  • In my experience, they do not check references or backgrounds unless they plan on making you an offer or are seriously considering you and another candidate. Using a third party cost the company money and isn't done frivolously. 

    Good luck! 

     

  • I just had an interview yesterday and they told me it's down to me and one other person, and let me know they'll be calling my references and running a background check as part of the final steps. So while you're definitely a finalist, there may be another candidate they're very seriously considering, as well.
