How long have your background checks historically taken?

Would you ever submit your 2 weeks before your check completes if you are required to start by a certain date? Or would you try and negotiate a later start?

I submitted my 2 weeks after accepting an offer that indicated a specific start date. Didn’t think there was any risk involved since I have nothing to hide in my background check

Sterling took about a week to do my background check, which involved calls to two references in Asia. I’m guessing it could be shorter for simpler scenarios

You can’t start without it clearing - maybe I misunderstood but they will have to delay your start until it clears .....
