[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 232596, member: 43563"] [USER=33582]@Bread[/USER] at this stage in the process, references aren’t really contacted. The majority of your application form is actually used as a data capture form that feeds into HR for future hires, ROI analysis, and DEI information. It’s common to actually go through the entire process until offer of VS or TC without having any background checks - and even then - a third party screener will be in touch to conduct these. As for your references in particular, I’m sure at that time, the firm or third party will be in touch to see if they’re still accurate/your top choices - so I wouldn’t worry about who you’ve selected too much at this stage. It is encouraged to choose one of each, but that can be a discussion closer to the time e.g. you don’t want your current company to know that you’re applying elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
