That means you're good to go
It's just none of my bosses told me they got contacted, so I don't think it means you are done yet. Also HR has not contacted me for two months after I got it, so I don't think it's definitive.
HR won't contact you or your bosses unless there is a problem with your check...trust me--just relax! If you didn't pull anything sketchy on your resume there is no reason to be concerned
Hi, i have been waiting for the background check for 6 weeks.... are you international ? Thanks!
I'm not international. I submitted my stuff in the beginning of February. What does it say as your status on HR Workways?
It says In Progess....
Has been in progress for many weeks....Are you coming intern or experienced professional ?
Would you kindly share if there's any update on your preliminary approval status? Mine has been going on over the past 7 weeks... and the status still remains 'in-progress'.
hi EglantyneJebb,
how about your status now? Mine has been 9 weeks...when is your start date?
I still have not gotten an update on this.
Hi Koalaloveit. Sorry for my late response. I only read your comment now... My status hasn't been updated, and it's marked nearly 11 weeks. I'm getting increasingly anxious, but some people's BG checks haven't cleared even a week before the commencement of work... I reckon I will have to wait a little longer since I still have a few more weeks left before the commencement. How's your status now? And when are you supposed to start working?
oh, thanks! maybe you should contact them, especially if you start date is coming
Orientation begins in July but I am surprised they have waited so long.
Has anyone had any news?
Anyone here about former employers being contacted? I still have not heard from any of my references about being called and I'm getting a bit nervous.
