A LONG time. They need to be fully sure that you have a clean record and are innocent enough to thoroughly exploit.

Long enough for you to reconsider the job ;)

Mine took a while, but I spent a few days arguing back and forth about a former employer that got bought out, and then went under, after I left. It was like the background check company had no concept that such a thing was possible. Confirming my employment with my manager at the time wasn’t enough because she didn’t work there anymore... but like, NOBODY worked there anymore because the company doesn’t exist. 🤦‍♀️

Simple Google search lol

Mine took a week. OP - don’t be afraid to call the background check company for a status update. Often times they’ll finish the background check but not push anything to Deloitte for a few days (that’s what happened to me).

Mine took 3 days. But I heard it is usually 3 weeks.

It depends upon how many countries and states you lived in, where you went to college etc. It took 3 weeks for me at both Deloitte and PwC because I lived in 6 different countries and 3 US states

Mine took so long I had to start before mine was even completed. Recruiter told me it’s not uncommon.

Very good to know, ty for the heads up. I’m just nervous cause I transferred schools a few times and while I didn’t lie or skirt any questions it’s not clear from my resume.

Things that delay background checks are usually county/ state criminal records. If you have an extensive address history, sometimes it takes longer to get manual results back from certain courts.

Mine was pretty quick. Someone did call my then boss and confirm my responsibilities. Seems like they outsource to India for those services.

Mine was super long as they contacted all the companies on my resume, but they had troubles getting a hold of one which held the whole thing up and it was a company years back so it was next to impossible for me to dig up any documentation. Luckily I found the HR person to confirm but it was a super stressful thing to worry about after putting my two weeks at my other gig.

I believe I did wait until the week before. Unnecessarily stressful position. Welcome to the #1 workplace!!

With companies using The Work Number more now to capture your previous pay and job history you’d think things would be quicker. I got hired 5 weeks before my start date but the background ppl didn’t start the process until a week or two before. Crazy

I have been in SMB and MM sales but just started an Enterprise AE position. I’m working on email templates and am curious if any other Enterprise AEs would recommend separate email templates for companies with 250 users vs 1000+ users? My manager recommended setting up separate email templates but. I usually just have 2-3 generic plug and play templates that I tweak based on conversations/typical pain points. Just want to see if there’s a case for separate templates that I might be missing
