Christi,

It is standard corp HR policy to do credit checks, motor vehicle checks,
and criminal history checks on every employee.  They used to only do it
for candidates making more than $25,000, but the range has widened. 
It's a little depressing, but large corporations have rigorous, linear,
unforgiving, screening processes.
