Employers are increasingly checking candidates' credit histories when hiring.
The founder of the Kredcheck service, Elman Mekhtiev, explained how credit history can influence the decision of employers.
A credit history reflects a person’s attitude towards financial obligations, writes the Prime agency.
It shows how the candidate repays loans and other debts, as well as the presence of court decisions.
This information helps employers draw conclusions about the candidate's reliability.
Having information about overdue debt on loans or credits is a red flag for an employer.
Unpaid alimony or utility debts can also negatively impact a candidate's assessment.
This may mean that a person is unable to correctly assess his or her capabilities and perform work duties.
