Got an offer from Amazon L6 non-tech.

2 weeks ago, I completed both the (1) new hire documents and (2) document requests for the background check (by their vendor Accurate).

Today, the lead recruiter calls me and says they need to push my start date from May 24th to June 1st, because they’re waiting for my new hire documents and background checks to be finalized.

I followed up with an email attaching the screenshot of my completion of new hire documents.

She responded saying “oh everything looks great, then we’re now only waiting for your background check to be completed.”

I called Accurate and got a copy of the finalized background check document sent to my email. They also confirmed they shared the final document with Amazon on May 12th.

I shared the final background report with the recruiter in case she hasn’t received it.

She got back saying “We’ll let you know once the full background check is completed. Thanks!”

Can anyone guide me on what might be happening? It doesn’t make sense to me since she also looks all over the place.

  • You need to chill and just let the process take place. Stop annoying your recruiter

      She’s also not gonna take your fake-ass pdf at face value. She needs to check
      it in her computers.

    You’re panicking lol that’s the only thing happening. Companies are weird sometimes don’t dwell on it much longer.

      Yeah I mean she hasn’t been the easiest person to work with overall, maybe that also adds to this.

      Perhaps they needed to push the headcount into June instead of May, and she just provided inaccurate information about the reason? Idk.

      It’ll drive you nuts thinking about the possibilities. Take a break and do something you enjoy.

    My background check also took a while because of which my start was delayed by a week.
    Its quite normal. I would say nothing to worry about

      Funny you say that Broadcom, because I know that Broadcom needs the background check to finish before you can start

    • But Broadcom did finish it for me in 3 days and HR person was actively pinging me to complete it ASAP as HireRight couldn’t contact one of previous employers, so I emailed w2 directly to Broadcom HR and they closed the case.

      E.g. absolutely different attitude

    In case anyone wonders, I started on June 1st and before my start date, the Lead Recruiter called me and apologized for the mix up. She said I was right and they had received the doc on May 12 and something got mixed up internally with the review team.

    My best guess is that she just pushed me to June 1st for her internal performance/goal purposes. My manager also brought this up with them because this push happened outside his knowledge and he wasn’t happy about it.

  • I’m on the same process. The BGC was completed on Monday. I haven’t heard anything from the recruiter ever after I accepted the offer. It would be nice to know or get a confirmation so I can feel comfortable give notice to my current employer.
