In my case the background check took 3 weeks after which the company reviews the background check report before they give you the drug test. It has been 3 weeks since the report was ready but the company is taking their own time to review the report. Even my starting date got delayed.

That is long and I'm here still waiting for the background check link, did you have to do something or they just send you the link? what I'm asking is how long did it take to get the email from HireRight. thank you for your reply.

Oh I got a background check link one day after I accepted the offer.
