I applied for a job in november. After the interview they told me that I could be a good option for them, but first of all they should do a background check on me, to be sure that I have a clear history and meet their needs. It’s already december and I have no answer from the company. I never had to pass this kind of check so I don’t know how much it might take, but anyway, it’s been too long. the company that should make the report on me is HireRight. Should I call them to ask for some updates, or I should call the company where I applied?

It’s strange that after more than a month you have no news, but you should know that sometimes the absence of an answer is an answer too. first of all i suggest you to read more about the background checks to understand how long does hireright background check take. Secondly, you should definitely call the company to ask for more details about your application. If they denied it and the reason of the denial is your report, ask for a copy because they should provide it. You might find inaccurate information reported and you’ll need to dispute it before another application.
