Amazon Background Check

Aug 7, 2020 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

When does Amazon starts background check process ? For me, I have accepted offer and my H1 is approved and i was planning to give 2 weeks notice to my current employer but Amazon’s background check has not even started yet. i am thinking if i shall wait for background check to be done before giving notice or shall i push out my start date ?

  • I just got an offer from Amazon and they did my background check a few days after I accepted my offer. It only took 24 hours to complete. I’m sure it will take a bit longer if you are outside of the US. I wouldn’t give notice to current employer until your background check clears. Good luck!

    • Just ask your recruiter to see if they can speed up the process. Let them know you’d like to give notice to your current employer. That’s what I did as well. Good luck!

    • For me, I got an email today to start BGC. They only asked basic info such as Name, SSN, current address. Was it the same for you ? Do they come back later asking more information ?
