Company Called My References? Good Sign?

[Spurshot]

I own my own recruiting firm. I place mostly 100k+ Engineers and some clients do references and others don't. Very few people will actually be honest in a reference for fear of being sued so I find them useless. Best to have a cross section of staff interview and look for consistencies. Anyway....many times the manager hands off to HR and wait.....and wait. Most HR ppl don't like staffing and recruiting so they drag it out. Use the manager to push it on his end. Could be hung up on Finance or it could be a role that was not fully approved and is I that process. Good luck. Your situation is not uncommon

Most large aerospace companies here in socal only verify employment, title, salary, service dates, etc.. Not much else.
