Role
Automotive Financing Representative
The hiring challenge
This role structures the credit that makes the sale possible; it handles the customer's financial data and terms that create payment obligations for years. The risk is hiring someone who, pressured to close, omits explaining the real cost of the loan or forces an operation the customer will not be able to repay, exposing the company to default and complaints.
What to assess
Basic financial knowledge, transparency in explaining the cost of the loan and integrity in handling data and approvals.
