FIELD BASED Debt Collections - Make a change from Sales!

The Company :

Our client is a professional, socially responsible debt management company, founded on principles of fairness, trust and respect. Their goal is to help people get out of debt. There are many reasons that people fall into debt and being able to gain financial freedom can be life changing.

Our client helps people on this journey. They help them climb out of debt faster.

What debt do they collect?

They collect debt on behalf of companies who lack the time, skillset, or processes to ensure smooth, positive results.  They have a commitment to socially responsible processes, so that the process of collecting a debt becomes a win / win situation for their clients and debtors.

They are currently seeking a motivated and hard-working person to join their Christchurch based  Field Based Debt Collections team.

The Role :

This is a  field-based role,  where you will be visiting those who owe debts, to negotiate payment arrangements. You will be visiting these debtors in their homes and will spend time talking to them to work out what they can afford to start paying their debt back.  Every day you will be out in the field talking to customers about payment plans and how they can become debt free.

Being in debt sucks.  It creates a whole pile of stress that no one wants.  Getting on the road to becoming  debt free  is a really positive thing…so for those who have some empathy and can communicate with all walks of life, this could be an immensely fulfilling role.

Gone are the days when Debt Collectors were big, tough, scary looking dudes. (And no offense to those who are…we still want you to apply).

But we are looking for those who will work hard, enjoy a fast-paced role, who like to be active,  like to be in the field,  rather than in the office. Those who enjoy  talking to people, all day, every day … when it is sunny, when it is raining…and they certainly don’t want to hire any slackers.

And you have to be a good sort…. kind, respectful, positive, empathetic….. a really good communicator.

However, if you are fragile, sensitive, timid, nervous, or haven't got a thick skin, this probably isn’t going to be the position for you.

This role will involve knocking on the doors of strangers, to talk to them and arrange payment plans,  so this sort of work must be in your comfort zone.

The Hours!

You will be out in the field every day!

Mon - Thurs.  The hours are long on these days,  from 9am – 8pm. (And non-negotiable)

On Fridays, the day is shorter. (Phew)

About You!

You do not need industry experience to apply for this role. Our ideal candidate, preferably will have experience in  another field-based role, dealing with everyday people, or might have come from a background where they have worked in the community and enjoy working with people.

If you think this might be something you could be good at and you have a  desire to work hard, and earn a high income , then you should apply.

Full training will be offered, but you must have the skills that are listed below.
