My HR recruiter confirmed that the team i interviewed, wants to go ahead with offer. However, the HR is insisting that i provide at least 2 references even before they release or discuss the offer numbers. I have been kept hanging in this state for 1 week. HR says nvidia policy is to release offer only after candidate provides references. Is this a new policy in place? Thanks in advance for input/advice. TC : 230k YOE : 11 #nvidia @nvidia
Offer details pls!
I had the same thing happen with my nvidia offer 4 months ago, but I knew the rough numbers before having to send references. I ended up asking people not at my current job (ex coworkers). Its only the "official" offer thats sent after the reference check iirc
Yes. That's the process. The HM will gather feedback from the 2 references and this can take some time as your references might be busy or the HM might be busy. Only then can it proceed to the next stage which is number discussion. Once that is done, it takes sometime to get the written offer approved from HM, director, Sr director, etc.
Aren't the reference checks done at the final stage once the offer negotiation are complete?
No. It's a part of the final step. Once the HM enters the reference feedbacks into the system, only then it proceeds to offer stage where the HR can discuss the numbers.
I once had to do a drug test before being officially told I got an internship offer, which I ended up not even accepting. Lots of companies have weird policies.
This was my experience recently, so yes it sounds like policy to me.
what kind of references do they ask and do they have to have worked with you sometime in your career ? whats a bkm for what kind of references to provide ?
Yep, ask the recruiter if it will help in setting the right level or offer and see what they say. Usually it should be done after the offer is in place.
Yep, you won’t get an offer unless the manager can talk to references.

What’s the problem with providing references? Does not need to be from your present organization
Requiring references before knowing the offer numbers is weird.
