Originally posted by helger View PostDid you do anything in those 3 weeks? In particular, do you think if it helps to chase up the agent on a daily basis? In addition, I could try to contact the hiring manager at the client side directly via LinkedIn to understand what happened, but I am not sure if this is the right thing to do, or does it help at all?Comment

Originally posted by heyya99 View PostI was in contact with the agent regularly. I was tempted to contact them directly but decided that would be a bad idea. They were just slow in releasing the role, just busy doing other stuff.
When I got a role signed off at the bank (hundreds over the year’s) I sent approval email to onboard team and expected them to have the contact out to the agent same day, next day at most
Your role is not signed off yet
P.S
Start the Disclosurescotland now, will take 3 weeks and agent won’t ask you to do this before background checks complete, where you will ask , will did you not ask me this weeks ago
