Background check for freelance is crazy work.
Community Builder
I’ve had it happen a lot.
Continue from above. The idiot recruiter said oh since the background checks took so long, which is on their timing by the way, the team filled the need. So why did they email us yesterday and say meet the team we’re getting on boarded? Why did we jump through all these hoops? Why do these agencies and this is a big network age Agency get to keep treating us like crap? Why do they keep hiring idiots? So mad they blocked me from other work.
That sucks. You should express disappointment and say you’d really like to be considered for the next assignment since you already have the back check and met the team, so you can get onboarded faster next time
I am so sorry, this is horrible. My experience the one time I had to do a background check was they onboarded me anyway and it was just a formality. So this is just beyond comprehension they’d do this to you. If you are comfortable please name and shame so we can stay away. But if not, I understand.
Thank you so much. It’s too big of a network with too many agencies that most people work out to name.
Sorry to hear. Also, this is a bit unusual, in my experience. As far as I'm aware I never had a background check done for a freelance gig. However, this industry never ceases to surprise one with moronic, inefficient ways it ultimately hurts itself and those who are involved 🤦🏽♂️
RANT! The explosion of outsourcing to robotic third, fourth, fifth party companies and platforms for every hr function makes it so the left and right hands don't know what each other are doing and are on completely different timetables. It is so demoralizing to be kept at arm's length (to continue the metaphor) from the people we are actually hired to collaborate with. END RANT

Agencies are a mess. I’m not surprised.

How did it take long? If you said it took a week? Background checks can easily take up to 3 weeks. I’m guessing they double booked ppl unfortunately! So sorry!
