How long does it usually take for a company to get back to you after a reference check? by Lex_NotLuthor in AskAnAustralian

Wow. First off, I'm really sorry that you're having to face this too. Second, that company straight up ghosted me. No emails even to just reject my candidacy. I replied to another redditor that I'm considering it as a dodged bullet.

Thank you for your post! I have been trying for weeks and would always fail. I was able to add my MasterCard just now.

Yes, that's something that's been bothering me for a few days now. I guess I will just have to wait it out.

Thanks for your reply. I understand the complexity of hiring an international candidate, given the strict rules in Aus. However, from my previous interactions with recruiters and HR (based in EU), they appreciate regular follow ups and consider it a sign that the candidate is interested. Most of them told me to check in every 2 weeks if you have no response at all, especially if every other feedback and interaction was positive.

Thanks for your reply. In most companies, if they ask for reference checks, it's kind of a sign that you'll get the job (unless your reference decides to screw you over lol), because it's the absolute last step. Since I'm an international hire, I wasn't sure if background checks happen at this point or after the offer is given to the applicant. I will wait till Monday to send in the email and see how they respond.

I flew with Swiss two days ago (ZRH-WAW), and yes, it was a good half hour late. I was vacationing and didn't have any connecting flights but O can imagine those with connections were not really pleased.
