I applied in July I wasn't called until the beginning of February to have my background checked, and I'm still waiting to be called. Why is the process so long?

We thank you for applying. Because we need to fill thousands of positions across the country, we start recruiting several months before making job offers. It may be several weeks/months before we start hiring in your area. You will be contacted if selected for an interview. You may also check the status of your application by signing to your online profile. Please visit the FAQs page below to learn more. We appreciate your patience. https://2020census.gov/en/jobs/faqs.html
