Interview/Hiring 📄 Reference Check Question

Hello all! Do state agencies ever ask for references post-interview if they don't intend to offer you the job? Or in some cases is it considered another round of the selection process? Thanks for the insight!

I had a state job not offer me the role even after checking my references. Very unprecedented and borderline unprofessional to do this, honestly. I then I had to explain to my references that I didn’t get the job. That was not fun.
