Please post hiring timelines! 🙏

[TPArampgirl]

Hey yall! Those of you that are new to this site have been able to benefit from the posts from those that came before you. There are still people applying that have the same questions we all had while we were waiting... How long did (insert whatever here lol) take?

If you have a start date, do you think you could post a hiring timeline? Basically stating the job you've applied for and the dates you recieved crucial information. Maybe you could include some info that you think might be helpful to others, i.e., you tried to extend start date, trouble with background check, or you were part of a hiring event. 

Thank you and Congratulations to everyone that is willing to do this to help our furture co-hearts. We look forward to seeing all the new faces!

KLaMonique , wow your background came back in 24 hours? Or am I miss understanding lol

Hello! So I have question, how long did it take for you to get your drug test background etc results back? I’m patiently waiting for mines and this is also for the CSA position, hope to hear back soon. Take care! 🙂 

[LadyRistrem2022]

I honestly don't know, I'm still waiting patiently

TPA did not schedule start dates that aligned with paydays, that is not a standard practice.
