First Stage of Background Check?

Hi all, I recently accepted an offer from and am going through the background check conducted by CARCO. It has been over 5 weeks. Yesterday HR emailed me saying that I passed the first stage of background checks and can discuss the start date now. But it sounds like there'll be more stages of checks going on even after the start date.

I thought they could finish checking all the education, employment, criminal records, etc in 5 weeks. Does anyone know what else they check in the further stages of background checks?

Thanks so much!

Thank you! Did Carco just verify the positions you listed on the online background check form? I put a college TA role on my resume, but forgot to list it on the online form.
