Subject: inaccurate information, correction policy, factual error, msnbc.com, Comcast / Microsoft
You published: “An HR department facing a stack of 100 resumes for one job would love a numerical tool that could automatically whittle the pile to five or six. HR departments already do some of this whittling based on credit scores.”
That is inaccurate information. Consumer reporting agencies do not provide credit scores for employment purposes.
Who is your source? What is your correction policy? Will you make a permanent correction and acknowledge the factual error on the story’s original page?
