You should email to check in if it's been substantially longer than they said it would take.

Re-affirm your interest in firm, thank them for arranging CB if you haven't already, ask if they need anything else, check on timeline.

Does anyone know if Covington actually calls everyone's references? If so, do they do that for everyone or just the candidates they're really interested in?

Every firm is different. It seems impossible to generalize.

Re: DC Call backs/Offers
I was told by a mid-sized firm that I'd hear back in ~2 weeks post-CB. It has been nearly a month and no ding or offer. I sent an email earlier this week reaffirming my interest, asking if they needed additional docs/info, and asking about their timeline. No response... I'm guessing this isn't a good sign, but I don't know if I there's anything else I could/should do or simply wait and continue to look elsewhere for an offer.Anonymous User wrote:Recruiter.Anonymous User wrote:Ok but how do you phrase this without a reason for the email?

Covington not only called my references, but also asked a professor who was listed as a reference for one of my classmates whether he knew me and could comment on me. I did not get a callback.Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know if Covington actually calls everyone's references?

Are you talking pre or post-CB? I don't think they call everyone's references that they screen, but everyone who gets a CB had their references called.Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know if Covington actually calls everyone's references?

I'm also anxious to know if anyone has heard anything from Covington, and if so when was your CB?

Bumping this thread. Would love to know if there are still many firms that have pretty much had radio silence after CBs. I have a few. Thanks so much.
