One in five of the survey would check to see if a company is financially stable before accepting a job offer, and one in 10 employees haven't accepted an offer from a business due to a poor financial record.
Fifty nine percent of respondents would refuse work from a company with an unfavourable company credit report, which provide a snapshot of the financial health of a business and expose County Court Judgements - legal judgements that a company failed to pay a debt.
Sixty five percent of the employees said they are particularly concerned about businesses with County Court Judgments, and over half would be deterred by a company with a high turn-over of company directors.
The survey also found 75% of employees prefer a good salary over favourable benefits.
Kristen Zeilerbauer, MD of Huntress Group's technology division, said: "As we recover from the recession, financial stability is not just a concern for organisations. Workers want to know they are finding stable and challenging employment. Highly skilled professionals can be even more selective about where they want to work."
Dominic Blackburn, product director of 192.com, added: "Jobseekers should read a Company Credit Report to see if a potential employer is a sinking ship. Ask of them: are they financially robust, do they service their debt and do senior staff stay put.
The poll quizzed 2,000 employees across the country. The majority of respondents worked in IT 33%, Accountancy or Finance 25% and Sales 12%.
