Is it normal to be offered a contract position without an on-site interview?

I had a phone screen with a recruiter, then a few days later an interview with someone from the actual company, and was offered a position the next day, to start shortly after. I accepted the offer, but haven’t signed any paperwork yet. It feels weird to me to have no on-site interview, but I’m wondering if I’m worrying too much.

For a contract position? This isn’t unheard of.

That’s good to hear, and should help settle my anxiety about it being an elaborate scam. I’ve had previous contract jobs, one had a rather formal interview, the other was little more than a handshake and an introduction, but it was still nice to actually see that the place was real.

I've been offered 2 jobs that did not involve an in person interview. They were both fine.
