Dear All,

My starting date with one of MBB is in 2 weeks. I already did several onboarding related things (uploading National ID Cards, Tax documents, Education certificates, filling personal information surveys, registering for insurance, etc).

 

However, I have not been asked to provide previous employment verification (although I have submitted the form regarding my previous employment.

 

When will the employment verification occur? thank you

Hi there,

It may or may not occur and when it does is anyone's guess!

Try not to worry about things you cannot control. As long as you didn't lie about your employment you'll be just fine :)

It's not mandatory. I've know several friends and coachees who didn't have any background check submissions required.

So relax, just go step by step as they ask. You'll be fine.

As long as you have submitted the information it will happen. Depending on the role you applied for the level of verification changes, this is nothing to stress about if you have put in accurate information.

Depends on the country. Doesn't always happen.
