because they feel more confident that you will not steal from them,,,,,,
this is true especially if you are to handle money
also a good credit rating represents that you take care of your personal business and know how to manage it and hence its a reflection on yourself of your skills

Most employers do not review your credit unless you sign an authorization form that allows them to investigate your credit report and history. This is sometimes done along with a background check.
This solely depends on the employer and if your job deals with handling money or accounts they will check this info before you are hired.

If you are concerned about your credit you should obtain a copy and review it on a yearly basis to prevent errors.
God Bless....

Super question...I don't think my credit score should have anything to do with being hired or not. I passed up two jobs that said they would need to run my credit report and I said that's not any of your business and walked out. My current job has turned out to be better than the other 2, so I'm glad I stood up for myself and denied their request. Someone told me that if you apply to a credit card company to be a csr then they will always ask to run your credit report. I still don't think it should be needed and I will continue to say no! Too many companies are demanding that you give them permission to run credit ck.for just about everything and I think that is just plain WRONG!

Having good credit demonstrates to a potential employer that you are a responsible individual. If you can handle your personal finances it's a sure bet that you'll make a productive, responsible employee.

A lot of time, especially in the financial world, how you handle your own person money reflects a lot about your character. If you have good credit, employers see you as a responsible person who has made good choices.

Because a person with bad credit is more likely to steal. Most jobs that require you to handle money (like a bank) will check your credit. There are other reasons too, check out the link below.

It shows them that you would be good with management of time and finances, and have priorities...however, it's not always accurate since almost everyone encounters credit problems at some point, plus credit reports are often times inaccurate! So I really don't believe it's fair

So they have some background information on you. They figure that a good credit score means you are a more responsible person.

Good credit reflets on your level of responsiblity and also they want to know you don't have bad history either with their company or with their business partners.
