It's no different than the latest method companies are using to screen employees...credit checks. It gives you insight into what type of person you're dealing with.
From an employers viewpoint, I want the best of the best working for my company. If you have bad credit, or are a drug user, you aren't in that group IMO.

I can understand not wanting drug users on your payroll, but people with bad credit?! I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I think a VERY large percent of Americans have less-than-desirable credit, thanks in large part to credit card companies, and SHITTY, LOW-PAYING EMPLOYERS.
A credit score is an awful way to screen out potential employees.
A much more effective way to weed out the scum would be a grammar test. If the sumbitch cain't pass no grammar test, he ain't got no place in no perfeshnal environment...good credit score or not.
