Time between application and hire date after drug screen?

@Voyager1968 --

Currently, I haul fuel (hazmat tanker duty), mostly in south GA & north FL.

For my current job, I sent in an application on Feb 1st (but not this year).

I was not contacted by them until 3 months later.

There are variables involved in the hiring process--your prospective employer may do this in less time, or more.

It just all depends.

I know that answer is also absolutely maddening--but the truth is the truth.

About a year and a half or so between application and hire.

My money says yours probably won't take anywhere nearly as long.

Definitely not. That was for a comapny with a very long waiting list.

 

Normally under two weeks to process the background check, arrange the drug test, road test.

 

If one or more past employer isn't responding to request for employment verification it will slow things down. Also, since the pandemic, it seems like every position at every company is being done more slowly and less competently than before. It probably matters if the companies involved are all-digital or using paper type processes.

 

I spent 10 weeks scheduling and waiting for background checks, road test, drug test, and interviews. It was during the peak of COVID panic and everything was moving like molasses on account of everyone working from home or just self isolating.
