Just had to provide one for a background check after I had gotten the offer. Good to always have one just in case.
Every agency I’ve worked at has asked for and contacted references.
Yes. Generally it’s after a verbal offer but before (or during) a written one
I had to provide 3 references as part of the background check after receiving an offer
Same, just had to provide 3 for IPG during the background check phase
It wasn't recent (like 8 years ago), but, yes, I've had an agency ask for references prior to an offer letter as part of a background check.
They still ask for and contact references in my experience. I’ve always had to provide 3-4.
I’ve had to provide references at the last three agencies I was at
I’ve heard of a creative recruiter ask for them.
