Any news?My references are contacted via email last week (my interview date was January 19 ); they are asked to fill out a quite lengthy question list; a bit funny that my Taleo status went back to "for-screening"...
I was told by HR that contacting your references is definitely a good thing, and if not, that can give you an idea whether you are being selected or not. Mine haven't been contacted yet, or at least I haven't received any email yet informing me that they are starting to contact my references :( Education sector
