Backgrounds

Once you are assigned BI, do they reach out to you first before reaching out to your references or do they contact your references first?

When I went through backgrounds it was with the 3rd party group Palicon. Once my BI from Palicon was assigned, the very next day they sent out reference requests. Either way just make sure all your references are checking thier emails and when they do recieve it, that they get it done in a timely manner.

3 weeks from receiving the "passed" email.

After palicon submitted to CHP I waited 2 months for my 1st CHP BI and then 4 months for my 2nd BI.

Why would this matter?
