The hiring process is moving much faster these days. Because of the budget issues they needed to make offers by 9/30. [/quote]

I just got verbal offer (they said they gonna extend tentative offer), and was told they are aiming to have an accepted offer by 9/30.  Isn't background check etc required before a formal offer can be extended?  Given it's already 9/3, I have yet to receive the tentative offer, seems like the goal of wrapping things up by 9/30 is hugely optimistic.

So how long does the background check take? What if they don't complete things before 9/30?  We go back to the drawing board and restart the process or would the agency still have funding to go ahead with hiring? [/quote]

Formal offer is not contingent on background check.  The only thing that happens between verbal offer and formal offer is determination of your salary by HR. [/quote]

SEC HR Specialist here.  This is absolutely not true.  Formal offer is COMPLETELY contingent on initial background check.  The full background check is completed by another agency, so that will follow after the formal offer.  But you will not receive a formal offer until you are cleared by the security team.[/quote]
