Do companies do background checks after the 1st interview or the 2nd interview?
I filled out all the applications and surveys and interviewed with the controller and the hr director. Then they called me back for a second interview and this time I’ll be interviewing with the controller, hr director and the president of the company.
Do you think the background check was performed after the 1st interview or are they going to wait until after the second interview with the president?
Thank you so much!!

Definitely after the 2d or 3d interview when they think they want to hire you. Background checks cost $ so few companies are going to waste that $ on every 1st interviewee.
I’m sure it varies by company.
