What’s the pace of the McKinsey & Company background check lately? When do they tell us if we pass social media checks and the other checks also?

Depends entirely on how responsive the entities that we’re checking with are. In the US, average time to complete is 4-6 weeks but it can definitely be longer, especially if there are international components. You will be informed once the screening is complete.

2-3weeks

Social media checks? 🤨

There’s what?

A social media background check along with the traditional background check done by social intelligence.

I signed off on acknowledgement for it. Figured I’d found out when everything is complete at the same time.

Mine took 8 weeks.

Mine just took about 3 weeks (with an international background)

Who’s the BG agency? Hire right or Sterling? I just got the offer and haven’t started the process yet

2 weeks

Do they check references as part of the background screen? I am expecting an offer so just wanted to prepare in advance. Thanks.

Sorry to piggy back this post but do they tell you when the background check is completed? Or ‘no news, good news’?

Was informed

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
