The LifeLock CEO is a dolt. The birthday associated with his SSN is now Nov. 2, 1940 and his identity has been stolen more than 20 times, thanks to his 'clever' marketing. Still, he's probably laughing to the bank unless he lost/loses the class-action lawsuit for misrepresentation.
http://www.wvgazette.com/News/200805172662 Daniel - I agree with others here. A recruiter can do no good by having your SSN unless they give you a valid reason to have it. Of course, you have to verify that you can work in the US these days, but my recruiter handles that with candidates for me so I don't know if that requires the SSN or not. Otherwise, I suspect it is true that some companies want to know if your credit is good.
