Should Medical Sales Jobs Require a Credit Check?

Recently, I ran a poll to see what you think about whether or not companies should have the right to run credit checks on candidates before they’re hired for jobs in medical sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, biotechnology sales, medical device sales, hospital equipment sales, surgical supplies sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, or pharmaceutical sales. Here’s the results:

49% – Absolutely not

40% – Only if there’s a good reason

11% – Sure, why not?

My personal opinion…companies should only check credit scores on those candidates who will receive a company credit card, or some other similar financial responsibility. I see that a slim majority of you don’t agree with me, but it’s not unreasonable for a healthcare sales company to want to give financial access to those people with proven reliability.
