FIELD BASED COLLECTIONS - Make a change from Sales

The Company:
Our client is a Kiwi company, created by Kiwis, for Kiwis. They are a professional, socially responsible debt collection company, founded on principles of fairness, trust and respect.
Their goal is to help other Kiwis 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, skillsets, 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 2 motivated and hard-working people to join their very successful Field Collections team based in Auckland.
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 work out what they can afford to start paying their debt back.
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 arrange payment plans, so this sort of work must be in your comfort zone.

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)
While we encourage applications from those with previous Field based Debt Collection experience, we are also open to applications from those without industry experience, that this advert has resonated with. (Preferably those have come from another field-based role, e. g. door to door sales).
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. You! What will work:


Gift of the gab - Outgoing personality! Ability to talk to & engage with all walks of life.
Strong communication skills and confidence in face-to-face situations
Have empathy and respect for others.
Assertive, Quick thinker, Street smart!

What else?Everyone works super hard in this company. They work as a team. They support one another. They have a lot of fun and enjoy a definite 'Work hard - Play hard' environment.
You will have a clean criminal record and a full NZ Driver's license and will be able to work away from home for a week each month. (You will do this with your team, so while its hard work, its also a bit of fun).
Again… the hours on Mon - Thurs …are long and these hours may prevent you from sports practice, hobbies and tucking your kids in at night.
So, think about your sports practice and chat to your partner before you apply.
The hours are long, but the rewards are seriously great! $100K ++
Remuneration & Benefits:
There are BIG rewards here! To start…. A base salary of $65K, Company car and bonuses/commissions are on offer. The on-target earnings in your first year are circa $100K. But you will earn a lot more in your 2nd year and 3rd and 4th. (Experienced Collectors are earning $200K ++).
There are not many jobs that you can earn this amount so quickly, without years of training behind you.
