Payment Remarks Can Trap You In The Job Hunt

Even if you refer to a quality education and top grades, and thus is likely to make you your dream job, you risk being dismissed in the application because of old sins. Headhunter Trine Larsen in recruitment firm Hammer & Hanborg says that many employers are investigating whether potential job candidates have registered payment defaults, and that this could mean the nail in the coffin.

When a prospective employer finds out that you do not have control of their own finances, it may mean that you do not get the job. It's no wonder - in some positions you can have access to spend money on behalf of the company, and they are naturally not interested in handing your wallet to someone who has a checkered past on the economic front, says Larsen Nettavisen NA24.

Larsen now choosing to encourage today's youth to keep track of their personal finances by what she believes is a growing pressure on especially young to incur credit.

Young, and also the elderly, are faced with advertisements for credit cards and credit in all channels. On Gardermoen shines large posters that beckon with credit cards tailored to vacationers and online advertising countless companies for credit cards, she says.

She explains to NA24 that it becomes increasingly common for recruiters and employers perform what is called extended reference control for those searching for top positions.

It means simply that we quality checks CV and including the credit yours. Then a defaulted tullelån SMS turn out. Then the new mobile phone you just had to have, or the coffee cups you buy on credit become very expensive for you, says Larsen.

She emphasizes that they do not check anyone seeking work, and they've also not allowed. But the checks candidate nominated as number one in positions where appropriate.

Also Robert Leite in Meditor Search says that background checks with credit checks are becoming more common in the Norwegian labor market. Their most extensive check involves verification of the certificate, CV, credit and debt, certificates, work experience, web search with social media, conduct and references. According to Leite discovers the fraud and discrepancies throughout 25 percent of the missions.

On several occasions, the results of the credit check has been decisive for the further process. But remember that credit check is only one of many elements of a thorough background check, but it scales much if the vacancy terms have financial responsibility and expanded mandate, he says to NA24.
