What if you don't hear from Sterling after background screening so what does it mean as I have received my DBS certificate?

Up to 4 weeks to process but that's great if you've got your DBS already so should have nearly gone through.

Is there any other stage apart from the DBS certificate? Like how will I know that the background check is complete?

Can we know the background check result before the start date?

Sterling will confirm they just have a bit of a back log at the moment so don't worry
