In current environment few people buy houses <5 years after graduation and I have never heard about job checking credit score/bankruptcy data. May be some jobs related to finances? Definitely not tech companies. And in retail/low wage jobs most people have shitty credit so there is no point in checking.
- Retric 4y ago“31% of employers ran credit checks on some applicants, and 16% checked all applicants' credit.” Which understates things as larger companies are more likely to run routine credit checks.

- bb88 4y agoIn many jobs, (banking, defense...) a good credit score is a mark of trustworthiness. And when you think about it, if you're going to hire someone involved in your money stream, wouldn't you want to know if they've ever, say, been indebted to a casino? Had a home repossessed? Hell, even a walmart cashier might handle 1k or 2k of currency a day.
- jlokier 4y agoPeople <5 years after graduation not buying houses are usually renting, and renting often requires a credit check, so bankruptcy would still adversely affect their housing.
