Hiring manager asking for credit history scam

Got this message for a position I applied to at some no name asset manager 

Thanks for your reply. Your next step in this hiring process is to complete our new employee questionnaire.

 Job requirements:

Outstanding written/oral communication skills to perform duties including responding to phones and taking messages, the preparation of mailings, the order and maintenance of supply amounts, easy copying, typical filing and emailing, and basic knowledge of Microsoft Office.

Please note that our company requires all potential employees to have a credit score on file for your interview. We ask for this because you will have access to company credit cards for business expenses. We request that each potential employee complete this as this ensures us that our future employee is credible, trustworthy and can be an asset of the company.

Please also note that because of the new economy we take into consideration that there may be some blemishes on a large portion of applicant scores. Rest assured that your credit scores itself aren't significant, but our company still requires the report.

Please complete and print your credit score by clicking : Applyhere

 You will need to bring a copy with you to your interview. This credit score costs you only one dollar and is entirely secure from the most trusted credit score website online.

Please complete this first step ASAP as we only have 48 hours to set up interviews. When you have completed the credit score, reply to this email, and we will set a time for an interview.

I look forward to meeting you.

Thank you

This is obviously a scam. Never have I ever been asked for my credit score. My question is what could they possibly want with my info?
