How do you feel about credit(not criminal) checks?

Er sorry I meant to say, "I guess we can all agree that it makes sense to do a criminal background check on Kevin"

As someone who is a firefighter and in the public saftey arena I have been vetted. Besides security clearances, public saftey agencies probably have the most intrusive hiring processes.

There is a reason a grown man with a PhD asked me if I fucked dogs and then made me show him how clean I keep my car over an 8 hour day at his office.

These little things like how you manage credit, what you do in your free time and how you care for your own belongings are indicative of how you will manage shit at work.

Think a guy who can't pay his bills on time is going to turn those reports in on time? The guy who drives a piece of shit with trash on the floorboards is going to respect company property?

If it wasn't cost prohibitive and there were not laws against it, I am sure private sector industry would do the same hiring processes.

Wow thanks for the detailed response anon.

I guess I mostly agree with you. Definitely how someone looks/dresses, how they talk, the kind of topics they discuss/bring up says a lot about their behavior in other situations.

Like the guy who talks about weed all the time is going to make it as a musician on soundcloud. Riiiight....

I'd feel that I'd say something wrong or something if I was vetted the way they vet people in public safety agencies. I'm a little paranoid that they would label me a freak for viewing 4chan as it is.

I've never done weed/drugs, and I don't drink, but I think they would do a double take if they knew all the legal but weird fetish/foreign/morally ambiguous porn I've seen.

shameless self bump, cause I'm a tax payer and pay my debts.

What would piss me off is if the credit check leaves any footprint on my credit report (UK)
