Waiting for reference checks. How to proceed?
I went through 3 interview steps, and then HR called me and told me that they want to proceed with my application. They asked from me 3 references. I've provided 4.
The thing is that it was urgent for them. And they asked to send references as soon as possible. I've checked they have contacted only to 2 references that are my direct managers and now it's a week they didn't call me. I would understand this if it is not urgent. But they have told me when I need to start and I don't have much time for giving a notice to my current employer.
I guess at some point I need to contact the HR but when and how to ask so I don't sound pushy.
Can you please help?
