When does Amazon start background check process?

- received and accepted offer for SDE position earlier last month (2 weeks+).
- have not heard anything from the recruiter since.
- have not even received signed release request which I thought is needed for background check.
- Want to know if background check is cleared before resigning.

    Once they start your background check, it takes under a day... I do remember that I didn’t get any email verification and called them and was told that my background check is clear. Contact the 3rd party company directly and DON’T WORRY!

    It's a really hokie background check. Only criminal and it only checked one county when I've lived in four.

  • Please check your spam folder too. The background check email will come from a 3rd party, not Amazon

      that is a good thought. Unfortunately, I could not find it in my spam folder. Do you or anyone know which 3rd party Amazon use?

    My recruiter advised I don’t give notice until it clears and she lets me know. Even though I have 0 record
