Does anyone know how long background checks at Barclays take? About to hit 4 weeks waiting...due to COVID are things slower? HR said it might take up to a couple weeks. Should I reach out to HR again?

Banking is very slow.

Thanks for the response. Can you elaborate on slow? How slow? Like 2-3 months type of slow?

Do you know who the background check company is? You may contact them. If not then reach out to HR for an update.

Nope, unfortunately I dont know the company. Do you think it's a bit early me reaching out to HR? Since they did say it will take some time (up to a couple of weeks)

It might be due to the county you live in currently / have lived in during the time of the background check. I used to run background checks that went back 7 years, if any of the counties you lived within the past 7 years had any sort of delay the whole background check was delayed. I assume many counties were working with limited capacity/ hours during COVID so that may be causing a delay.

So workday is very right. Once, a county in Georgia was upgrading its system, so they said they couldn’t verify a guy’s negative criminal record fort six months.

The idiot company couldn’t roll out the offer until the check was complete and the poor guy had quit and even moved.

He suddenly went MIA on us. Never heard from him. He joined a non-bank role probably with a Moses lenient background check.

Hi Guys,

I have completed my tech interview rounds with UBS and have received email for fitment round.

Thank you.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment.
