I had a panel interview last week for a staff position at VCU. A few days later, HR asked for two references, including one from my current supervisor, which I submitted last week.

I was curious if any current or former VCU staff could share what the hiring process timeline was like after references were requested.

Specifically:
-Did HR actually contact your references?
-How long did the background check take?
-Does this mean I am a finalist?
-How long after references/background check did you receive an offer (if you did)?

Since they’re speaking with my current boss, I’m a little anxious about the timing/process and would appreciate any insight. There was no HR screening to ask these questions so I appreciate any insight from the VCU community.
