bankruptcy or foreclosure
Is it illegal for an employer to refuse an interview if you have a bankruptcy or foreclosure-resume is great?
As an investigator of fraud in the financial services buisness, it was brought to my attention that people are being refused interviews because of poor credit.
Employers are contacting people because of their resume but have often told them they must have good credit, etc or they cannot be considered. So it is not a matter of a good resume or lack of skills.
Poor credit is not a Federally protected status. Employers routinely look at an applicant’s credit history as one criteria for selecting employees in certain jobs. Credit worthiness can be as important as crimal activity and drug use for weeding out bad candidates for certain jobs. Credit history can arguably predict certain things about a candidate. It is used to assign auotmobile insurance rates, mortgage rates, etc; routinely. If these industries are allowed to use it as a “predictive model”, then why not employers, as well?
