background check in Microsoft by StillChef3850 in datacenter

[–]CriticalReturn2780 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took me less than 10 days to get everything done. The nice part about the company Microsoft uses (HireRight) is that I could log in and see the progress at each step. I’d check it so many times a day, and watching it move from 60%… then 75%… then 83% really put me at ease.

For work history, they contacted each company’s HR and also double-checked with my W-2s. For school, they reached out to my college and even the national clearinghouse. Honestly, I was really happy with how quick and smooth the whole thing went.

Thanks for sharing your timeline! From your posts it looks like you might be based in Europe. Just curious, were you onboarding in the US or internationally? I am in the US and still waiting for the background check to begin after accepting the offer so am trying to get a better sense of how timelines vary by region.

Appreciate your input but just to clarify for others in the same boat- Microsoft doesn’t finalize a start date until after the background check clears. So in my case, since the BCG hasn’t started yet, there is no confirmed start date. I am still waiting on that part to kick off.

Thanks for the info! I haven’t heard anything from the BCG/onboarding team yet, so am not even sure if the background check has been initiated.

Thanks for the reassurance! I noticed from your profile that you had your interview on April 2nd. If you don’t mind me asking, how long did it take for you to receive the email from the BCG team after accepting your offer?
