Role
Credit Analyst
The hiring challenge
The analyst evaluates applications and decides whether to approve, reject or adjust terms based on risk. The mistake is hiring someone who applies the scoring mechanically without reading the signals of the case, or who yields to commercial pressure to approve. Their judgment directly defines portfolio quality and future delinquency.
What to assess
Risk reasoning, financial knowledge and integrity to hold decisions in the face of commercial pressure.
