If you get asked for permission to run a background check on you does that mean

you got the job? because last week I went to a group interview at burlington then as a closing statement the interviewer said they would call us if they wanted to continue the process. Well I got a call less then an hour later explaining a background check request was going to be sent to my email, so I clicked the link and put in the password I was given and all that stuff, it lead to a form to fill out which I did and I authorized the company to run a background check on me. Hopefully that is a good sign and i have a clean background both in criminal and driving history so I'm just going to twiddle my thumbs while I wait for a reply
