My start date for McKinsey is in 2 weeks but I have received no response regarding the background check. Can I ask McKinsey what the current status is? Does the hiring manager e.g. hiring partner review any possible deviations that occur during the background check or is it HR that reviews this?

Background check?

Recently joined BCG, they definitely do a background check!

Assume you’re fine. Theyll reach out if there’s an issue. Its a process

No harm at all. Feel free!

Talk to your recruiter or HR person. Nothing wrong with it. Usually, in case of background check, no news is good news.

Hi how long has your background check taken so far? I started mine last week and I’m hoping it will be done soon so I can give notice. I would def reach out to HR to just confirm there are no issues.

Also maybe go on the sterling website and see if the status says complete

You can check with Sterling and see a copy, just login.

Sterling checks everything! Had a part time job at a store 6 years back while in school. They flagged a job title discrepancy apparently reported by my old boss.

So be prepared for "consider". Had a bunch from old employment, some just saying they couldn't verify.

Re: same boat, TBH, not sure how much McK cares on this stuff so let me know what they say when you follow-up.

Hi, was there any issue with having “consider” status for few of the old employment.? I have some international work-ex which they are unable to verify. I have provided pay-stubs though!

I haven't yet.
