Help with hiring process.

I had my virtual interview on the 10th of January and accepted a contingent job offer.  I have submitted my background forms online as well on the same day.

My question is, when should I get information on when to do the fingerprints and drug screening? I have not gotten any emails or phone calls about them, or when the background check will start.

 

Thank you everyone!

You should hear back soon stay optimistic! I just got through that process last week. Took them a week or so to get back to me after I signed the acknowledgments to set up my fingerprint and drug screening. Now I’m waiting to hear back since Iv completed those! Good luck and stay patient

Congratulations, @Fluker96! I'm glad to hear you'll be joining the SWA family! @Lserna was spot on, you should get more information in a week or two with next steps. The background process usually takes 3-6 weeks depending on what career you're starting. Always feel free to email your recruiter if you have any questions on the specifics of your onboarding process!
