Depends on what type of background check. With a national background check you are sometimes at the mercy of the court systems to provide information. I have had it take up to several weeks in some cases. (I work in HR)
Susie, mom to DS 4/10/07 and DD 3/6/09 (MC 9/05, 2/06)
I think its a standard criminal and credit background but I don't know. It's been almost 2 weeks since the original interview. The HR guy said it should be completed this week but has extended a preliminary offer. I just think he didn't actually start it until last week when he sent the offer.

I am starting a new job Jan 3 and they needed me to start the paperwork by tomorrow to assure it would be done by then. So..2 weeks max? They told me 4-5 days over the phone.

Re: How long do employer background checks take?
Court systems? Seriously?
