Goldman BG Check going on 6 weeks now??
My background check started mid-February and it's still going now. I emailed HR and they just said that it's ongoing and they'd reach out if they had any questions.** Is something wrong??**
I've already been given my start date and the website has allowed me to book my flight for the summer, access my documentation, etc. I just don't understand why it's taking so long and I need to sign a lease for the summer soon.
My background check for GS started in January and is still ongoing. I wouldn't worry about it, i think they're just really slow
I think the general consensus with background checks is that not hearing from the employer or background check company is actually good news. In other words, if they haven't contacted you it means everything is so far so good and no red flags to address.
Check the HR links they sent you to access the files for the background check in the first place. There should be a part where you can check your status. If it says preliminarily approval and your drug test says successful (if you've already done it ) I wouldn't worry.
Where on the hrworkways website is the status of the background check displayed? I don't see it.
These things take time, I would relax.
Same here. My GS BG check started in late February and this is the sixth week. The system says the BG check is still in progress...I contacted the HR department and they said they would contact me once they cleared the bg check. I guess what one can do is to wait at this point.
In the same boat. BG check started mid February and still hasn't finished. I wonder what's taking so long.
Don't worry, they're just checking your browser history.
If you have "preliminary approval" that basically means you're cleared
I don't think you typically hear anything unless there is something wrong. I'm pretty sure that I still haven't heard back about my GS background check from 2002. Would be pretty strange to hear about it now though since I left in 2004.
Edit: Is there an online system now that shows you your status? Just curious...
NA
Yes there is
Where on the hrworkways website is the status of the background check displayed? I don’t see it.
Yes. They've investigated and found you not preftigious enough.
i wouldn't worry too much - sometimes they take a while as they get backed up or they cant get through to the people they need to. just hunker down and wait to hear back. good luck.
Same here -- been on "preliminary approval" for over two months. I still don't have my start date confirmed.
EDIT: Also curious if most of you are summer or full-time hires?
NA
Hey did anyone here clear the BG check since last post? It's been the eighth week for me...just wondering what's going on
No news for me either. Does hrww say preliminary approval for you (doesnt for me)? Does it say that they received your signed contract? I also sent my signed contract months a months ago but still says not received.
I've been on preliminary approval for a few months. Deville it also took a while for them to update the offer letter received status after I sent it in.
I wouldn't worry too much unless you murdered someone on FB live. All jokes aside, if I can remember correctly it took a pretty long time when I went through the background check two years back.
Other than the background check, what other preliminary tasks are or were required of you before you start?
reading and signing some documents and a drug test
Thank you!
Yesterday GS finally cleared my bg check. Good luck!
Did they call you or did you see it on the website?
