Hiring for non-bank financial services

Credit unions, lending firms and collections agencies live on lending well and recovering even better, serving customers who are sensitive about money. A hiring mistake shows up in delinquency, mistreated clients and fraud exposure.

From an industry risk to a better-supported decision

  1. Industry risk

    The sector hires people who approve credit without real risk judgment, or collect in ways that wreck the relationship and expose the company legally. And because the whole business revolves around money and financial data, integrity is not optional. The balance between closing deals, controlling risk and treating customers well is hard to hire for.

  2. Signals to assess

    Risk judgment under pressure to lend, integrity handling money and financial data, emotional control and firmness in collections without destroying the relationship, solid financial fundamentals, and respectful treatment of money-sensitive customers.
