Good credit = good employee?
Qualification: Must have a good credit history
LaToya Horton was temping at a management consulting firm in Boston last January when it offered her a full-time job as a clerk. Then, the firm said it needed to check her credit.
Horton, 30, of Dorchester, didn’t get the job after her credit report showed $18,000 in deferred student loans. “My credit wasn’t perfect, but I never thought my student loans would go against me,” said Horton.

Suppose Sally applied for a job vacancy as a receptionist who was merely having customers sign in. In this situation, it might not matter if Sally had good credit.
How about a financial position though? If the job involves investing the firm’s resources, setting credit policies, or paying bills for the firm, I’d certainly want to consider Sally’s credit rating!
