Hey everybody, I recently had a reference check post Super Day at a firm. They talked to a majority of my references who I think gave very good referrals but I haven’t heard anything back from the firm yet and it’s been a few days since the last call…Am I dinged? Do they typically have multiple candidates hang around for reference checks or do they only do these for the one candidate they plan on taking?

Would think most firms are not wasting resources ref checking people they aren’t planning to take. Mostly a check the box thing
