Going through the process of interviewing for inhouse positions. Finally had one where they asked for (and reached out to) references. This followed a phone screener with HR and an inperson interview a few weeks back.
Anyone have a sense from experience of what (if anything) this could mean about the status of the process? Obviously not a bad development, but curious if others have seen this play out -- either as a step prior to making an offer or just a way to winnow down the applicant pool.
I appreciate no one knows for sure -- and I should have got a better sense of the process from the company sooner -- but I figured it was worth an ask.

Re: Inhouse Interviewing
I just completed two in-house interviewing processes that resulted in offers and neither company asked for references. I was a little surprised. Neither is a small company (30K and 60K employees).
