Microsoft Background Check feedback
I got an offer from Microsoft for some EU country and right now I’m going through the HireRight background check. I’m wondering if I’m going to receive some email that have started or someway to be able to see the status, as after submitting it I’m on the dark (and HR not replying 🙄). Also how long did it take for you? I’m not worried per se about the BC but rather on the speed of it for giving notice to my current employer.
It takes from 30 to 45 days.
How did this end up? I'm in a similar situation
HireRight background check takes 1-2 weeks most of the time. Most of the time in the HireRight portal, you can see your own background check. They track and log when you access it but you can see it and even download a PDF of it. Then it gets sent to Microsoft's OneHR background team upon completion. Who will take anywhere from 1 to who knows how many days to review it, depending on what shows up. During this time, its generally radio silence, and they say if it goes over a couple weeks, reach out.
No they won’t tell you anything unless they need to ask questions.
Not even “yeah we’ve started to work on it”?
They should have sent you a form to fill out.
