PSA: Please do not apply for any jobs at wiredtalent.com - really poor [View all]

HR practices, as evidenced by this snippet from a tech support help wanted ad on craigslist.org:

Pre-Employment Requirements
o 7-Year Comprehensive Background Check Required and Credit Check Required. DO NOT Apply unless you can pass both a criminal check and a credit check (i.e. your credit is free from current collection accounts)

I emailed to tell them they are insane with their credit check B.S. and that I was going to trash their rep as an employer wherever and whenever I could.

Thanks

ETA: Got an email auto-response saying they were reviewing my resume. Ugh and double-ugh
