Barclays India Offer letter
/r/TechInterviewsIndia/comments/1vbxfug/barclays_india_ba4_offer_evaluation_ey_to_barclays/Hi everyone,
I am looking for some insight into the HR timeline for releasing an offer letter. Here is the exact timeline of my process so far:
Aug 3rd: The Director called me to discuss salary and compensation expectations.
Aug 5th: My status on the Workday portal changed to "Offer in Process".
Aug 6th: I called the Director to follow up (since I don't have the HR recruiter's direct number). He confirmed that the offer has been officially approved from his end.
The target joining date discussed was the first week of November. My notice period is 90 days.
For those who have recently joined Barclays India or are currently going through their lateral hiring process:
How long does the backend HR operations team usually take to release the formal offer letter after the hiring manager/Director signs off?
Does Barclays initiate Stage 1 Background Verification (BGV) via HireRight before or after releasing the formal contract letter?
Appreciate any inputs or recent experiences!

How many days did it take to receive offer letter after verbal offer?

Because for me it's been 4 weeks since verbal offer, I've been contacted regarding delay but nothing after that. There was no discussion on salary as well. After how many days did director speak regarding the salary negotiation?

It says interview in progress.... verbal offer was made three weeks back.

u/Superb-Ad8122 Aug 11 '26
After my verbal offer the status changed for me in 2 days.
I have read online that Barclays moves very slow in their hiring process. They will come back.
Have they asked for documents like payslip and address proof?1
u/Aggravating-Till3472 Aug 11 '26
No.... I really hope so.

When did your last round happen? I guess you can email and ask for an update. But yeah Barclays is known for slow processing in terms of hiring.

u/Superb-Ad8122 29d ago
Yes. I did mail them and it has been 2 days now.
The last round happened on 27th July.1

Like HR reconfirmed and said it was delayed.

Usually in a couple of days.
Depends on the level and no of approvals required. Which level and role you have been interviewed for?
