   If I were in your place, I would reach out to him one last time, and if I was not satisfied with his actions or explanations, move on. If they are this poorly organized and supposedly want you on board, things will be unlikely to get better. In that case, consider that you have dodged a bullet.

   I agree with this. I've done background checks and they don't take very long - 48-72 hours max. You don't want to work for a place that communicates to a prospective employee like this. Regardless of what's going on, they should never ghost a candidate.

   Hi there. OP here. I reached out ONE LAST TIME the other day via email. I tried to call but no one picked up (hmm). I can't figure out if I'm being ghosted (after being given an offer?) or there's a lack of communication btw departments or what. I don't know if they use a third party or not (my guess is not), but I'm not chasing them down. It's been 3 weeks now. Sigh. Thanks for all of the comments - truly appreciate them!

   So sorry but it seems that companies have gotten into this if we avoid it it will just go away business practices Good luck on your job search

   I agree and you gave great advice. Something in my gut feel like this is best case scenario red flag, otherwise, this is a clear indicator of how the OP will be treated once on board (think advocating for a salary increase, promotion, time off, etc.).

   Nowadays, background checks can take up to 3-4 weeks or more.

7. Lomaxruiter@yahoo.comOctober 26,2023 at 12:28PM UTC

   We’ve had several issues with our background screen provider in the past year.

8. AnonymousOctober 26,2023 at 1:25PM UTC

   Depending on the background check level, some places can take up to six weeks or more for the background check, especially if they are doing the full FBI check. Do you have a contact in HR? You might try calling them to find out how long the checks are taking where you are. This is something that the line managers typically have no knowledge of, so reaching back out to your future manager would probably not help much.

   Call the recruiter (or HR) that you worked with. I use a third party for background screens, and sometimes those email will end up in junk/spam folders. That said, I typically reach out to individuals in advance of the link being sent so they know what to look out for and when.

10. LaDonna CollinsOctober 27,2023 at 12:31PM UTC

    Did you check your spam? Often these emails go to spam. If it’s not in your spam, I would send an email requesting them to resend the background information. I’ve had several people ask me to resend pre-employment tasks. I appreciate their enthusiasm about the position and am glad to do so.

    Have patience. 10 Days is nothing depending on the level of clearance needed. Some background investigations can take months! I’m surprised you reached out so soon. I would stop reaching out if I were you. It’s not a good look.

12. AnonymousOctober 27,2023 at 3:43PM UTC

    A reasonable amount of time for a background check depends on the depth of investigation being performed. Ideally, they would've told you how long their checks usually take. In places I've worked, a basic check can be completed in 24 hours. Longer ones can take a couple days. It should only be taking weeks or longer if the position involves a high level of clearance. Especially since he told you to look out for a link from HR, I suggest checking back in to advise it wasn't received once you hit the 48 hour mark. If things still seem stuck at that point, you can certainly remove yourself from candidacy. That comes down to how you feel about your process, and if you'd be comfortable working at a place that seems to be quite a bit disorganized, at the least.

13. AnonymousOctober 27,2023 at 4:50PM UTC

    Well, if you want the job you have to communicate with them. Perhaps email the background check company to get a copy of your background check. I always advise this no matter what. Then contact your new manager and let him know that you have some questions about start date, offer letter, benefits etc. If you get nowhere with him ask for him to have HR call you because you need to decline other potential employers to firm up your acceptance of their job and your exit from your current situation.

14. Lisa McCartneyOctober 27,2023 at 7:18PM UTC

    Did you check your spam folder? Sometimes the algorithms are set funky and you have to double check. Also check to make sure someone didn't transpose letters in your email.

    I am over 65 and inquired about a position within a larger well organized health based corporation. My daughter is a nurse and put me on to the Job because it was an low stress job. I interviewed by phone and then went in for my face to face with the department manager. The information email stated to wear professional attire or scrubs. I wore the typical black slacks, black top with an outer over coat and closed tied shoes. No jewelery with the exception of earnings. I felt like the interview went well and was give the card as usual by the depatmanaget. I sent my follow up email thank you. Within less than 24 hours I was approached in an email to seek a more qualified job. Nothing was mentioned in either interview anything about certifications or degrees. I feel I didn't get the job because of my age until I found out my granddaughter in her 20's interviewed with this same company and they never even gave her a preset phone interview.

    Move on

17. AnonymousOctober 28,2023 at 8:17PM UTC

    Always keep looking for a "back-up" position even when you get an offer. One can see things go sideways or not materialized as wished. Seeing poor communication, as you have experienced, is a real red flag. It also could mean that company is understaffed and people do not have time to fulfill their duties properly. Keep looking - move on if you find something!

18. AyianOctober 29,2023 at 3:25PM UTC

    Games during the hiring process is a red flag in itself. They're in no hurry, so even if you are the candidate they chose, they aren't that excited about it either. I would not continue attempting to onboard at this company.

    I like to play games in my spare time. If it weren’t for cs go, for example, I'd hardly be able to relax well after work, relax and have a good time. Speaking of cs go, do you know anything about cs go skins? If not, I advise you to check article https://thinkcomputers.org/which-awp-skin-should-you-choose-up-to-10/ . I think this will be most interesting to cs go fans.

20. Charles StoneDecember 29,2023 at 8:42PM UTC

    Arsenal codes are a great way to get free skins and extras in Arsenal, one of Roblox’s most popular sub-games. The Arsenal developers post new codes on Twitter several times each year. They’re generally for announcer voices and skins, although there are some that give you money as well. You could get a code that bans you or provides little in the way of compensation depending on the holiday.

    In my free time I like to play video games, because during such pastime I not only relax, but also develop. You could even consider it my hobby. There are many more tests, and they all boil down to one thing: games help develop your brain. Of course, CS:GO won't make you a genius, but it will help you improve your concentration and attention, which is important in life. By the way, I use https://leprestore.com/ boosting site when I need to raise my rank in any game.

22. Charles StoneDecember 30,2023 at 11:44AM UTC

    Video games are often blamed for academic failure or absent-mindedness. They dumb them down and make zombies out of children. Even I have heard such statements from parents. I don't want to upset people, but it's not true either. But having played, I personally also made sure that this is not true, so, of course, it is better to choose a game that you like, and if you need help with buy boosting check https://leprestore.com/ , it is the best site for boosting.

    Skins are definitely always more fun to play with. There really are new possibilities and they can be quite fun to explore.

24. Scringe BOctober 2,2024 at 1:32PM UTC
    For me, game as CS is attractive to me because of its unique combination of intense competition and well-thought-out strategies. Not only marksmanship and shooting are important here, but also teamwork, knowledge of maps and quick decisions, which keeps me coming back to the game. Plus, I enjoy collecting skins, like the ones mentioned here and these are the five most expensive CS2 inventories for 2024.

    I’ve always enjoyed both sports betting and casino games, but it wasn’t until recently that I found a place combining both really well. A few months back, I was looking to place a live bet on a big soccer match and then switch to some slots afterward. I discovered an option that let me do exactly that in one seamless experience. The thrill of tracking odds in-play, caught up in every corner kick and goal, followed immediately by the excitement of spinning reels—it felt natural and convenient. Right at the heart of that experience, I clicked the button labeled Start betting on WinLion, and everything changed. From that moment I was able to manage my sports bets and casino spins in a single account, without switching sites or logging in again. The platform’s layout is clean and intuitive—odds and game libraries displayed clearly, search filters to find the exact match or slot you want, and smooth transitions that make it easy to jump between sections. One evening I was watching a live hockey game with a friend who’d never tried online betting. I showed him how fast you can place an in-play wager, cash out early if things go your way, and then head into a blackjack room for a more relaxed pace. He was surprised at how transparent the process was—no hidden holds on deposits or confusing rules. We both ended up winning small amounts, but more importantly, we enjoyed the mixed evening of sport and gameplay. Another thing that stood out was the speed of transactions. I made a deposit before kickoff, instantly placed wagers, and later withdrew some winnings without any delays. No convoluted steps, no surprise fees—just clean, reliable transactions.

    In the Fairygodboss thread “Games, red flags or…?”, the original poster questions whether a delayed job offer and missing background check link are signs of poor communication or something more concerning. Community members weigh in with personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of trusting your instincts and not ignoring red flags. Interestingly, this uncertainty is similar to how users approach unfamiliar online platforms - whether it's job sites or gaming platforms. Just as you’d want clear policies and transparency before committing to a workplace, it’s smart to check reviews like https://igaming.pub/casinos/n1-casino-review/ to gauge the credibility and performance of an online casino before signing up or making a deposit.

    Waiting on HR can be really exhausting, so I completely understand your irritation! I occasionally prefer to take a quick break and play online games to decompress while you're determining the next course of action. There are a number of short games on websites like http://bk8-malaysia.net/ that are genuinely quite entertaining and can temporarily relieve stress. Naturally, nothing can take the place of a job, but as you wait for HR to reply, it's a pleasant mental reset.

    Verde Casino has truly been a delightful surprise for me. The welcome bonus https://verde-cazinou.ro/ was quite generous, and the range of games really kept me entertained. I also love how quickly I can withdraw my winnings, especially when I use e-wallets. The customer support team is always responsive and super helpful. Sure, there are some wagering requirements, but honestly, they’re pretty reasonable compared to what you find at other casinos.

30. GanzorigBatjargalSeptember 20,2025 at 6:50PM UTC
    I stumbled upon Melbet Mongolia https://pickem-mongolia.com/review/melbet/ when a friend showed me how he was tracking odds during a basketball match, and curiosity got the better of me. Signing up was quick, and the first thing I noticed was how smooth everything ran—no lag, no confusing menus. The live betting section hooked me instantly; odds shift in real time, and it actually feels thrilling to follow. I later explored the casino part and was surprised at the variety—roulette, blackjack, endless slots. What sealed the deal for me was the bonus system; I claimed a welcome offer and it really boosted my balance, which doesn’t happen often elsewhere.
31. Tanika LasmaOctober 16,2025 at 4:16PM UTC
    Yeah, that kind of silence after an offer is always frustrating. It’s a bad sign when you have to chase a company just to get basic updates. Honestly, it might be worth keeping your options open — communication issues often hint at deeper problems. In the meantime, maybe take a break and clear your head a bit. I’ve been checking out 1 win lately, a solid platform if you want to relax, play a few games and take your mind off job stress.
32. Aaron JacobsOctober 20,2025 at 1:33PM UTC

    Nothing grinds my gears more than being ghosted after thinking you’ve locked something solid, and here I am juggling the same frustration with a new gig, wondering if I’m the only one hitting dead ends; clicked around a bit on https://melbet-uzb.com/ earlier just to clear my head and realized sometimes patience is a skill on its own, like in gaming, you know? I’d probably give HR a calm, one-time ping, frame it as checking in rather than chasing, and then step back—if they can’t even get a background check link out on time, that’s a red flag for how organized they are. Meanwhile, focus on what you can control and don’t let their delays stress you; keep your options warm but don’t burn yourself chasing someone else’s schedule.

33. Michelle SummersOctober 22,2025 at 8:46PM UTC
    I’ve tried plenty of online platforms lately and it’s wild how different the experience can be from one to another. Some sites look flashy but end up feeling empty, while others surprise you with smooth gameplay and real chances to win. I stumbled upon https://realmoneygamesaustralia.com/ and honestly, it felt more balanced. The payouts came through quickly, the interface didn’t lag, and the bonuses weren’t just for show. Feels like one of those rare places where you actually enjoy playing instead of just chasing rewards.
34. Eva SandersOctober 22,2025 at 8:57PM UTC
    Been playing around with different casino apps lately, and most of them either crash mid-game or push endless ads. I switched to realmoneypokiesapp.com out of curiosity, and it turned out way smoother. The spins load fast, the interface feels clean, and the rewards are actually worth the time. It’s not overloaded with fake promises like most of those flashy clones.
35. Gigi HagiOctober 22,2025 at 9:02PM UTC

    Tried a bunch of casino apps and most of them promise big wins but barely deliver. The <a id="myhref" href="https://bestrealmoneypokiesapp.com">bestrealmoneypokiesapp.com</a> I’ve used so far actually gives fair results and doesn’t freeze every ten minutes. Feels like they focused on gameplay first, not endless pop-ups and fake “exclusive” bonuses. Way more enjoyable than I expected.

36. Julia MandaOctober 23,2025 at 8:53PM UTC

    I’ve been checking out different betting platforms lately and https://pinco-uz1.com/ feels surprisingly legit. The layout is simple, payments go through without hassle, and it doesn’t feel overloaded with ads. It’s nice to find something that actually works instead of pretending to.

37. Sammy WizzyOctober 23,2025 at 8:55PM UTC

    Great post! anyways! I’ve been using https://n1casino-games.com/ for a few weeks now and it’s been running great. The games load fast, payouts arrive on time, and the bonuses actually make sense. It’s one of those platforms that feels stable and fair instead of flashy and empty.

38. Jiji KajijiOctober 23,2025 at 8:59PM UTC

    Great post! I love the engaging comments here! wanna share my story! I started using https://20bet-sports.com/ a while back and it’s been pretty solid. The odds are consistent, the interface is quick to navigate, and withdrawals happen without unnecessary drama. It’s refreshing to find a betting site that keeps things simple and reliable.

39. Mimi LamiOctober 24,2025 at 8:08PM UTC

    Love it! After trying so many betting apps, https://1win-app-online.com/ turned out to be one of the few that actually feels fair. The interface is clean, bonuses are reasonable, and withdrawals don’t take forever. It’s reliable enough to stick with long-term.

40. Salma WinstonOctober 24,2025 at 8:10PM UTC

    Been using https://1win-app-online.com/ mostly for live bets lately and it’s been solid. No lag during matches, odds update instantly, and navigation is easy even on mobile. It just feels stable and professional.

41. Tanya KOctober 24,2025 at 8:14PM UTC

    I’ve been trying out different casino apps and https://pinco-casinoapp.com/ really stands out. The interface is clean, games run without lag, and payouts come through on time. It doesn’t feel overloaded with ads or fake promises, just smooth and fair gameplay.

42. Elizabeth ConnorsOctober 25,2025 at 10:36PM UTC

    I tried https://pincocasinos.com/ recently and it’s been surprisingly good. The games run smoothly, payouts come fast, and the interface feels clean and simple. It’s nice to find a site that actually works without all the noise and clutter.

43. Mia WeynoldsOctober 25,2025 at 10:38PM UTC

    I’ve been following esports for a while and https://casino-pin-up.cl/ caught my attention fast. The odds are fair, matches stream without lag, and the betting options are wide. It actually treats esports seriously, not as a side category.

44. Sammy KimbersOctober 25,2025 at 10:40PM UTC

    I’ve tested a bunch of casino apps, and https://realmoneypokiesappforandroid.com/ turned out to be one of the most stable ones. The games load fast, payouts are quick, and it doesn’t crash mid-spin like many others. It actually feels built for players, not just profit.

45. Amaya DennisNovember 11,2025 at 6:57PM UTC

    Recently in one discussion on the Fairygodboss community, members shared candid stories about navigating difficult workplace dynamics and feeling unsure of their rights. One contributor pointed out that many online platforms provide detailed policies and disclaimers, making it easier to understand expectations and protections. For example, the section at https://thepokies.net.nz/terms-and-conditions demonstrates how transparent terms‑and‑conditions can help users feel more informed and secure when joining a community or service. Clear, accessible policies not only build trust - they empower participants to engage with confidence and know where they stand.

46. BrianDean DeanNovember 27,2025 at 5:28PM UTC
    It’s really frustrating when communication breaks down like that—it can feel like you’re constantly chasing someone else’s process rather than focusing on your own priorities. In situations like this, keeping your stress levels in check and maintaining mental well-being is important, especially if it starts affecting sleep or posture while you’re waiting for updates. Sometimes it helps to take a short break and do something engaging, like exploring casual activities online. I’ve found browsing Flexy Spin casino games can be a surprisingly good way to distract yourself for a bit—kind of like giving your brain a mini-reset while still staying entertained and alert.
47. Duncan MClaudDecember 10,2025 at 12:10PM UTC
    Cazeus app keeps a steady and simple flow during regular use. Screens load quickly and navigation stays clear which helps maintain focus on the session. Key features activate without unnecessary steps and transitions between sections feel smooth. The app avoids visual clutter and provides a calm, predictable environment for users who prefer consistent performance.
