The Employment Credit Score helps consumers better understand how an employer may use their credit report to determine hiring, firing or promotion, states Smart Credit, a company that provides credit report help.

More than ever employers are using credit reports to determine hiring, firing or a job promotion. Smart Credit's patent-pending Employment Credit Score helps consumers understand how an employer may judge their credit report.

Costa Mesa, CA (PRWEB) June 21, 2010 -- Smart Credit™ today announced the recent filing of a patent application to secure intellectual property protection for its employment credit score technology (‘Employment Score’). The Employment Score is a credit score alternative developed by ConsumerDirect® for its SmartCredit.com service. It is designed to help consumers understand, in a simple score, how an employer may interpret their credit report. Approximately fifty percent of U.S. employers are viewing consumers credit reports to help in hiring, promotion and even firing decisions. The Employment Score uses credit report data to generate a score, rated 350-bad to 850-excellent, along with details on how employers may interpret their credit report. The Employment Score is included with Smart Credit membership at no additional charge.

This chart shows how credit report information is used in calculating the Employment Credit Score.

“For the first time, consumers can better understand how an employer might judge their credit reports. It is a growing trend that employers are using credit reports as an aid in hiring; our Employment Score helps consumers prepare for job interviews,” said David B. Coulter, the founder and C.E.O. of Smart Credit, a company that provides credit report help.

This Employment Score is also tied to job listings showing applicants where there is a high likelihood that an employer may use one’s credit report in its hiring decision.

The Employment Score is connected to credit monitoring alerts and may change when certain elements of a credit report change. It uses certain stress weighted factors that Smart Credit believes are relevant to employers.

Please refer to the accompanying graphic showing the importance of each category in calculating the Employment Score
