[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 12942, member: 2672"] Depends on the firm and what kind of reference it is. Know some do it before even inviting people to interviews - but that’s typically only academic references. Most will request academic references at the point of inviting someone through to interview. Most times you get it back by the time you interview and then make a decision on that person. Sometimes you don’t, and then you just weigh up whether you think it’s worthwhile waiting for them. I have waited when someone’s grades are slightly lower than I would normally look for, or if there was a slight question mark over the candidate that you want reassurance on. But when the candidate has smashed all the assessments you generally just offer anyway. Most offers will have a “subject to references” term in it, so if there was anything really concerning coming out of the reference they could rescind the offer anyway. Full reference and employment checks are typically only done once you accept the offer. [/QUOTE]
