I am so over the whole holier than thou condescending attitudes. Because someone ran into financial difficulty they are going to embezzle money from a company. Get real people.
I haven't seen one person get not hired for financial difficulty IF they said hey this may come up. Be honest and upfront. They are going to find out anyhow.
I still have my ex-hubby court case under my name but if they pull my credit there is nothing there. His name was on the mortgage..not mine.
Get real?
Reality IS that companies run background checks, credit checks, and even health checks.
You cannot pretend they don't happen.
It is not the issue of the checks, it is the comments in thread judging people and stating a person with credit issues might embezzle money. Personally, I think companies should give a psychiatric evaluation to any employee that is hired in a managerial capacity to make sure they are of sound mind and without severe mental disorders.

You are free to hire as many financially irresponsible people as you want for your business.
How many financially irresponsible people HAVE you hired, 3littlebirdies?
Speaking for myself, I don't employ anyone, but if I did, I wouldn't give 2 ****s about their personal life. All I'd care about in hiring them is whether they're ready, willing and able to do the job I was offering. I wouldn't care if they had committed a felony in their past, if they're in debt, etc.

Can you cite examples of the problems you have hade with financially irresponsible people. I would like to hear some examples the problem that you have dealt with due to these circumstances so I can better understand you concerns.
As I stated there is nothing wrong with the background check process, only the conclusions hiring managers jump to. As I stated earlier, I wish background checks would expand to in-depth psychological tests and assessments of people being considered for roles in charge of people to ensure someone with severe mental disorders are not put of charge of other employees. I think that alone would save companies of lot of money in productivity,lawsuits.severence packages and un employment insurance.

Well the better question is, how many have you hired and what where the circumstances that lead to their firing. Please share some issues you have dealt with concerning financially irresponsible employees. I would love to hear what you have been through with these people.

I don't doubt you believe that to be true.
But you are talking like someone who has nothing to lose. You do not own a company.
But I'll play....
So, if you owned a trucking company, you would hire people convicted of vehicular manslaughter, if "they're ready, willing and able to do the job"?
If you owned a day care, you would hire child molesters if " they're ready, willing and able to do the job"?
If you ran a bank or a casino, you would hire embezzlers and thieves if " they're ready, willing and able to do the job"?
Somehow, I really think you would not, but would instead hire qualified applicants who do NOT have those issues....

I would not hire them in the first place. With the large application pools, I would hire the qualified applicants that do not come with such baggage.
