Just curious, to what depths does HR go when doing background checks for spring weeks in the UK. Do they require any recommendation letters from past employees/certificates of internship completion?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the background check process for summer analyst roles often involves a 3rd party verification company. This company typically verifies employment information and details from the resume you submitted to your bank. However, the specifics of the process can vary depending on the bank and the region.
As for your question about spring weeks in the UK, I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help? I recommend checking out other threads on WSO or reaching out to HR directly for the most accurate information.
Do they ask for uni/ A - level transcripts too?
