When it comes to credit control, recruitment is one of the most prominent industries for which late payments become a significant issue. Effective credit control takes a particular set of skills, not to mention a set number of hours to focus on the task at hand.
The task of chasing for payment is often a daunting prospect, not least due to the prospect of damaging your relationship with a customer as a result. Credit control should always be carried out with customer service at the forefront, and therefore should never hinder a relationship.
As a result of the time-consuming and daunting nature of credit, many recruiters choose to outsource this facility, and with it comes a variety of benefits that ultimately allow businesses to operate efficiently, as well as improving cash flow.
