hi i received offer from JEF for full-time analyst starting in 2013. i accepted offer and have signed paperwork, but not yet received info about background check or references.
when does JEF hr send this information? do they outsource background check? if anyone who has been thru background check process with JEF can comment, would be greatly appreciated.
please advise. thx.

i don't know for jefferies specifically but i'm guessing they outsource it. you probably won't hear back if everything checked out fine. my guess is they sent your info out and got a report back within a 2 week turnaround. if it's been that long and you haven't heard anything i'd say all systems are go. if you want to follow up with your HR rep you can just say how you wanted to see how the whole onboarding process was going and if there was anything further you needed to do.
thank you cruncharoo. i might add that i only signed offer paperwork, did not fill out background check form. have not given them references or transcripts yet. thank you again.
don't most firms start the background check process in the spring?
Yeah, I was under the impression that background checks were done ~1 month prior to an analyst/SA starting their position.
dont lie about gpa
looks to me like u did this or was screwed by someone who did this
Guys, when did you hear back from Jefferies after your initial online application??
