I may have missed it, but why can a person with poor credit not be hired easily? It seems that such a person would be a reliable employee since he really needs the money.

Two areas that would definitely give a person a problem getting hired with poor credit would be any job requiring a high level security clearance and any financial jobs with access to significant money. Probably not where he was applying, but beyond that, large employers find that people with poor credit often turn up to be employees with other problems (substance abuse, family problems, etc.) that could roll over into the job. Unfortunately, it is more expedient for the HR department to filter them out rather than find out why their credit score is so lousy.
