So I recently went for a job interview, relieved a phone call a few days later offering me the job. They stated a few checks and forms etc need to be completed before a start date and just follow instructions on emails received and I will here back from them soon.

So I received a email to do a background check with sterling filled all the information in a few days later it now says view report
Does this mean there was no issues with the report and I am OK to go ahead with the next stages.

I dont believe there would be any problems with any background or employment history but never been through this kind of process when starting a new job before

So basically in the short does my background check report stating view report a good sign or would it say that either way

.... is there a button or link for you to view the report? I don't think anyone can answer what you're asking.

How would any of us know!?

Just view the report.

If you've received an email saying "view report' surely it means exactly that. Click on link or open attachment to view the report. Unless I'm missing something

Sorry i should have stated it does say view report but isnt actually viewable for me

so was just wondering if anyone has been down the same situation when starting a new job
and could give a insite into whether it is a good sign or if it would come back like that good or bad
