Signed a MS offer on 20th. Still nothing from AskHR or hireRight for background check. How long does it take for them to start pre-onboard.
Emailed Recruter too. Nothing.
Action Center still shows me to be in the “offer” stage.

  • Honestly there is no process in place. better you keep sending emails if luckily anyone reads your email then they start next step. You have to do this throughout your onboarding process.

    Blind has a lot of posts about delays and long processes, but mine moved surprisingly fast after signing: I received my written offer 6 days after verbally accepting. I signed and submitted immediately. I got the AskHR and HireRight emails later that same evening. I kicked off the background check early the next morning. That was on a Thursday, and my HireRight report was sent to MSFT that Monday morning. Later that night, I got the email from AskHR that I was all clear and could pick my start date.

      Did it go to “pre-onboarding” in action center when you got the background check detail or when you accepted the offer? It’s been 3 days and I think my Recruter had forgotten to move me to pre-onboarding. It just moved today (after he replied to my email today)

  • It varies wildly. In my case it took almost a month between the verbal offer and the actual letter. Then 3 days for background and 2 weeks for immigration team greenlight.
