Hi,
So I had a final partner interview, where the partner made a verbal offer. We later exchanged Emails, where I thanked the partner and they said they were looking forward to me joining. However, HR just told me that I have to take a psychometric test, and also asked for reference details. Please let me know what you think is going on. Do I have the offer or are they still looking into it?
many thanks
hey there, someone actually had the same question three days ago.. :)

Hi there,
So it looks like this is part of their background check.
The references part is normal (i.e. making sure you are who you say you are).
The pyschometric test is a bit of a unique one, but it looks like they're making sure you're still a good fit for the firm and/or want to see how to best place you (mentorship, etc.).
Try to not worry too much - just take the test honestly and you should be just fine!
As a colleague already mentioned - there was a similar problem couple of days ago. Please, contact HR once again and make sure that they are aware that you have already gotten the verbal offer. It should be a mistake.
Hi there,
Asking for reference details is quite normal.
In terms of the test, that’s unusual. I would reach out to HR and verify if that’s not a mistake given you already secured the offer.
Best,
Francesco
Hello!
There was a similar case in the Q&A a few days ago, in case is not you, try to track down this person.
I would kindly ask HR and bring into their attention your conversation with the partner.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
