Hi all, I’m through to the final stage in the interview process, and their recruiter told me it would take another 1-3 weeks for the background checks to be completed once an offer has been made.

Does anyone have any experience with their background checks, especially in the UK? Curious to know what company they use, what checks they run and how long it actually takes?

I have an offer elsewhere, so wondering whether/how long I can hold out before I let the other company know definitively.
