Credit check for employment
I rarely comment on Jobcase, but I want to say this "I think it is very UNFAIR that a company seeking qualified candidates and makes a decision to not hire you based on your credit report". There are too MANY qualified applicants who have had a financial setback for what ever reason and have the ability to fix it, but CAN'T due to not being offered a job due to their credit report. All of you companies who pass up on qualified applicants due to their credit score, remember one thing, it is NOT their credit score who does the work you need to have done, it is the individual who can get the work done. I say this is one of the reasons their are a lot of people OUT OF WORK. If we had a job or given the opportunity, then we would able to fix our credit, you miss out on good applicants. We use to be hired on our qualifications, experience, and we still have those qualifications, experience, but now we are NOT hired due to our credit score.
I always wondered how a credit score can prove to an employer that I can do the job. SMH...probably one of the reasons I am still searching as well. Thank you
