Role
Credit Representative
The hiring challenge
The representative places loans and faces a structural tension: their target pushes them to approve, but approving poorly generates default. The profile that fails places loans without looking at the customer's real repayment capacity or, worse, manipulates information to close. It calls for commercial ability with risk judgment and integrity, not just eagerness to meet quota.
What to assess
Commercial orientation with risk judgment, basic financial knowledge and integrity in the face of pressure to place loans.
