Re: credit check for interviews

Sean:

This has happened to me in the past.  I worked as a Technical Writer for 
Equifax Card Services.  Due to the sensitive personal and financial 
information that is potentially available to all employees of Equifax, a 
credit check was part of the hiring process.

More recently, my current company performed a background check that included 
a credit check.  I was made aware of this before hand (and had to actually 
sign a waiver that authorized them to do so).

I guess that in increasingly difficult economic times, employers feel that 
they need to be (or CAN be) more selective as to the type of employee they 
hire.  Par for the course nowadays.

Hey all.
Last Friday, NPR ran a story about how companies run credit checks on 
potential employees. I was surprised, I don't think this has happened to 
me....has this happened to anyone else? Under what conditions did this 
occur? What were the results?

I'm just curious, because that's the sort of fellow I am. :-)
