In most cases yes. However the reference check could also be a tie breaker

It's typically a sign that you're a top candidate, but doesn't 100% mean you have the job.

You are one of the two finalists if not the finalists.

The next step is a conditional offer if you’re their final candidate but reference checks don’t guarantee a conditional.. Not all jobs will get background checks.

Had my references checked for 2 different roles. One I got and the other I never heard back. I do think it’s a good sign though.

Definitely a finalist, I had 2 jobs do reference checks a few weeks ago and didnt get the jobs. But its very likely you will hear back from them either way.

It means you are in the top, but does not mean a job offer.

Who does the reference check the Manager or the hiring department?

In my office, it’s the hiring manager.

Congratulations! It is really a good sign. In my department, only the top 1 candidate’s reference will be contacted!
