What do employers look for when doing a credit check?
408179
They are looking to see if you have too much outstanding debt.  If you do, you could be more likely to embezzle than someone who is financially sound.  They are also looking to see if you are going to be costly to them in that you might have your wages garnished or have court appointments to attend.

depends on how in-depth the check is.  If they are only looking for felonies, the miosdo won't show.  But, if they do an entire crimianl background check, then obviously it'll show.  If the application question only asked for felonies, you answered corrrectly, and they ahould not be able to hold that against you (so long as you have a decent story behind it - either a funny one or one that down plays the severity of it.).  \n\nthere are a couple of checks that employers use: the DMV, the local police records at your local precinct (& sometimes surrounding areas), or the full blown FBI type searches.  FBI is most srintgent search, pretty much everythign shows up, DMV mostly driving related charges, and the local precinct only shows arrests (all) made in that area.

They probably check your credit to make sure that you're not late all the time or something similar.  Your annual income is probably one of the biggest factors assuming that you don't have a spotty credit history.

Depends on the job, if you are applying for a job that gives "company credit cards" to their employees for expenses. I promise you they will run it, and your hiring will be determined whethere you have good enough credit. \n\nMost check it though to get a "better" look at who the applicant is as a person. We CC check people here, to see how responsible they are in their personal life. Now, having said that, Yes, there is a difference between a late pay here and there, and someone who is "chronic" bad pay.\n\nIts just another way someone can guage who/what you are all about. Lets face it, interviews all sound the same. People give the same "dont want to give a bad answer" response.

Many companies that deal with lots of monies or goods check your credit nowadays.  This has become a common practice.  Also, companies that deal with other individuals sensitive information (SSN and such) do credit checks.  They use this to weed out those with bad credit because they feel that they are more likely to be tempted to do illegal activities for money.\n\nHowever, I do not then that there is a way to get around it.

There several ways of doing this. First you must have certain information such as: SS# ,First and last names, place of residents or maybe place of employment. You might want to hire a private investigator. Check credit reports.

I used to work closely with background check agencies.  if it's for basic employment, they look into your education, previous employers, dmv, convictions.  as for emoployers they can only find what you list, if you choose to omit a employer they can't find it.  the only things you can't omit is felonies and misdemeeners and dmv.  they can also see all previous addresses you've lived in.  credit check is rarelly done, but if the employer is interested in that, then they can do that too.  in certain states, by law, you are to receive a copy of your background check after it's been completed by the agency who ran it, for free.  I know california is one of those states.\n\ngood luck :)

They do credit checks and as long as nothing major comes up then you will be fine.  I had a judgment on my credit from a long time ago and I still got hired

They want to verify your last place of employment and how much you made there.  It's probably easier for them than getting someone to run a background check.  It's also more reliable than a reference, sometimes, if they just want the numbers.

They're looking for records of broken lease agreements.  Many apartment managers list broken leases on your credit report. They can also see reports of bounced checks, late payments, etc.  It should show all addresses you used to obtain credit in the past few years.  If there's anything you're hiding or need to explain just be honest and hopefully they'll rent to you.

well you could do a form that emails somebody or multiple people the information , but then somebody at the office is going to have to run the person, spend the money to get their credit score/history, ect\n\ni would check out experian.com to see if they have something already put together in a affiliate package where people can check their credit score from your page and print it out and give it to the boss with their credit application, and you will get a piece of all the action that comes from your website . . .

If you have a creditor that you already owe - they can periodically check on your record but they don't get in depth reports.  You have to give a company permission to pull a credit report on you.  If you don't they don't have the right to do so.  \n\nWhen you get offers in the mail that say you are qualified (not sure if this is what you question has to do with)  but those offers are not based on your total credit report.  It is only based on basic info that is not totally private.  It is a prelimiary kind of credit worthiness they look for.  Like maybe if you fall within a certain group (with a certain fico score or something) they will send you offers just incase you are interested in them.

Does my employer count?

You are not required by law to answer this question.\n\nProspective employers like this information so they know where to cap a new employee's salary.\n\nI work as a private consultant and I never reveal this to employers. There is no need for them to know if I made $55 or $65 an hour. The only thing they need to know is how much my services are worth to them.\n\nIn your case, in retail, it would be benficial to inflate your past salary IF you want to make considerably more on your new job.\n\nAnd as far as credit worthiness goes, there is no reason for a retail sales firm to check your credit history. The only time a prospective employer should check your credit score is if your job requires security clearance.
