Hey everyone! I'm starting to notice some of backgrounds are taking a bit longer to come back. I know everything going on will definitely affect backgrounds but I'm wondering what your thoughts are on how much it will be impacted and how it will affect talent acquisition in general. What are your companies doing with background timelines? Any resources/tips you recommend?

We’ve started people on waivers. Last summer interns background check were started in February - I’ve received completion notices up until this week. The intern has been terminated since the beginning of August. It could be a while depending on the courts and probate offices.

I’ve seen some delays but not by months. And our vendor usually lets us know if everything else is complete but one section so we can waive that part as needed.

We have had some delays but just by a week or two. Our background check firm said that it had to do with courts being closed or on limited schedules during Covid. We are back on schedule

This is what I heard too.

My husband & I are relocating to be closer to family next year. I always assumed I’d stay in my current role until the move, but things at work have become horribly toxic. I can’t stay in this environment for 10 more months. I’ve thought about trying to find a job in the new state that might let me start remote…but that feels like such a long shot. Any other recs? I’m feeling really hopeless & trapped recently.

Hey everyone! I am a CPA, started at PwC, now the assistant controller at a small/medium sized Ag company. Thus far, the plan has been to follow the CFO path. But recently I have been longing for more social/client facing interactions. I am very extroverted. I love meeting and connecting with new people and would like to incorporate that into my career. Any thoughts on possible career paths that would combine my experience in accounting with a more socially fulfilling job?

Thanks I’m advance!

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
