Thank you AAPL and NVDA
New hires @MSFT, how long did it take for Truescreen to wrap up your background check? I recently accepted offer at Microsoft and submitted my background check consent and forms 2 weeks (10 business days ago) and haven't heard a word back since then. My recruiter too is on radio silence since. Today, Truescreen asked me to follow up with Microsoft since as a policy they don't disclose status to candidates.
I'm on the same boat.
Shady people on Blind spotted
From what I know MSFT is pretty sloppy, but itβs totally worth it right? Congrats on your new job!
Pack your bags! FBI, CIA or some other 3 letter agency is gonna come knocking at your door soon. Run Forrest, run! π
Lol - they will Check if you are secretly using Mac ;)
It takes atleast 2 weeks , somehow the background check is more rigorous than any other company I was in the past
Mine took almost a month
Can you tell us what made it take so long?
No, I have no idea.
What did you do last summer?
Took a month
Whoa! That's a long time. Did you check in with your recruiter or the vendor from time to time?
Yeah it was bullshit - also they went on vacation without coverage so when the results came back it still took a while to get my start
It should not take more than a week but usually takes more. After a week I called the vendor and asked them if they needed any document from me. Turns out they needed some more documents and I was verified within 2 days of submitting. The vendor also tells you whether they are currently processing the application or have submitted the report. If the report is submitted, ask your HR for details.
The vendor says that they can't provide a status update or any other information as per Microsoft's policy.
Call back tomorrow at a different time. You might get a different receiver. Changing questions also helps. For example, ask if the documents are sufficient.
They know
