Thank you for your honesty in amitting that Google and Apple do this as well. I simply think you're unaware of how standard this practice is in hiring today--not just for high-end tech hiring but for any position where they're attempting to predict reliability.
To the point of the article, though, most probably don't eject someone from the process based on credit alone.
- m0nastic 15y agoI don't know anyone from Apple, but I asked around to all of my Google peeps, and they all stated that Google absolutely doesn't do credit checks. I have only actually done one interview where they asked for a credit report (and consequently the hiring manager wasn't allowed to extend me an offer based on the result, even though they tried for several weeks to make an exception). I don't believe you that this is standard practice (although I can buy that it is "becoming more and more standard").
