I started with HR background on May 4 and it was completed on May 6 but I am still waiting for the background screen result. the HR report has all green flags but one yellow about the education but education section said completed with company standard - don't know why shown yellow though. I take a azure support escalation engineer. Any idea? Is MSFT starting hiring freeze?

Many thanks,

  • Seems you already signed the offer, then I guess you don’t need to care about hiring freeze right? Background check usually has some weird problem and may take a little more time.

    • No need to be nervous. On the same boat and I passed background check waiting for onboarding. I have several yellow flag on report and I was nervous and asked about HR what additional material I could help provide, they don’t really care and just passed my check after several days.
      Even if msft hiring freeze, it’s far from rescinding your offer.

    I interviewed initially in earlier March, and then I was told after two weeks that they want to give me an offer but not sure which group. Then they contacted me again for another interview Late March. Then at the end of April, they made me an offer. I signed the offer early May and then started the background screen,

      Thanks for sharing! I interviewed late April. Got transferred to the teams lead recruiter 2 days after onsite and now waiting for more updates. It's been a a week since. I'm not sure what to think of this.

    If you don't mind me asking, how long after your onsite did you hear about your onsite results?

    I interviewed for the same role on 04/23 and haven’t heard back anything although on following up recruiter said it went well and someone will contact soon with results. I guess they are keeping me as a backup candidate in case someone else backs out ! Hahaha

  • You already got the offer. Short of not passing the BG, you're good.
