How often do you get asked to provide professional references after you have finished the final round of interviews? This is my first time where I’ve been asked this.

I’ve been asked about half a dozen times, but only once did someone follow up on it. Also, I know I’m on about 2 dozen people’s reference list and I’ve only ever been called once.

Thanks for the insight!

Only a few times. I would say about half the time they follow up. Generally when you refer someone for a position, the references step they bypass.

Next time will be the first

Never in my entire career.

Always, but they don’t always reach out

How do find a recruiter in the legal field? Have been looking for a job for a year now and trying to transition into another practice area. Applied to more than 20 jobs and still no offers. I feel like I might need some help.
Also, I have no idea how these arrangements work. Do you pay the recruiter to look for the jobs or do you pay them when you get the job? Or does the employer pay them?

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best.

It seems odd to me
