Possible job offer - referencing & checks
I’ve been shortlisted for a position (preferred candidate) and have advised of next steps:
- online reference check from two previous managers
- background checks
Références: my manager(s) from a previous role (the most important / relevant for this position) are no longer with the company; also, referencing would be done by HR who would only confirm dates and title. Has anyone had any experience with this?
Background check - I’ve been advised that this can take 4-6 weeks, which seems awfully long. I am assuming that it’s checking for criminal records, fraud conviction...and financial (???) although that would conflict with what I’ve read about moving to NZ and having to rebuild one’s credit history (for the purpose of home loans etc)?
Thank you in advance for any guidance / info!
