Background check

Intel sent background Check just after talking to the recruiter. Hiring manager hasn't contacted yet. It's been a week since recruiter spoke to me. Update: Apparently they are just collecting the information. They will not did a background check until I accept the offer. Any truth to this ? I think given the liability and the brand name I think in can trust.

That doesn’t make any sense

Did any of your references get approached by them?

I didn't give any references so far.

This doesn't make sense. Why would they do background check even before interviewing you?

Is that legal?

I don't think they actually do a background check. The BG check company will just take the data and only do it when you accept the offer.

Is it a positive sign in the right direction?

I got it after the phone screen and before the onsite...so definitely looks like a positive sign! Goodluck
