I’m currently interviewing with a company and it’s been going well so far. If they decide to extend an offer, what should I generally expect for the background/reference check? I’ve worked at the same company my entire career. Former colleagues that I’d consider using as references are still in contact with my current colleagues and I don’t want my team to hear from someone else that I’m looking for another job. Any good alternatives for job references? Anyone else been in a similar spot?

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
