[quote=Anonymous]I didn't insist on candidates providing references before the 2nd in person interview but to be honest the ones that did gained an advantage. I had 4 candidates that I scheduled in person interviews with after the phone screening. Two candidates gave me their references whom I called before the interview. Two candidates said they would want to provide them after the interview. I did one interview with a candidate who did not provide a reference beforehand, and the next two interviews were with the ones that had given them.

The two candidates who did give their references beforehand ended up on the top of the list. I ended up making an offer to one of them and just canceled the in person interview with the 4th candidate (who hadn't provided a reference). I also didn't bother to contact the other candidate's reference that she provided after the interview. To be honest, if the other two candidates had given their references and their references were really positive then they may have had a better chance. Since the first two were really good and references were taken care of already, there was no reason to bother with the other two so they lost out.
