Anyone with experience getting credit checked for a job or anyone on a hiring team that does credit checks? I have an interview where they spoke about a credit check if i get an offer, and that kinda scares me. I have a poor score but omly because of high utilization and a late payment or two, nothing else negative. What are they looking for in a credit check?

Its an IT sysadmin role at a healthcare financial company

Credit checks are fairly common with new hires. They want to make sure they're not hiring someone who can't manage their money. I doubt a late payment or two will hurt you, they're mostly looking for bankruptcies, car repos, unpaid medical bills, etc.

You should be ok! I think it’s part of the background check. Especially, if someone’s been unemployed. Credit utilization might be high that’s typical.

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes.
