About the role
This interview examines how you recover overdue loans through informed, lawful and well-documented engagement. The panel wants someone who diagnoses the reason for arrears, negotiates realistic arrangements, follows through consistently and knows when a case needs formal escalation.
How to prepare
- Prepare a recovery case that shows diagnosis, contact strategy, negotiation and final outcome.
- Review how you test whether a proposed repayment arrangement is affordable and credible.
- Think through respectful responses to avoidance, anger and repeated broken promises.
- Practise explaining how you prioritise cases by risk, ageing and likelihood of recovery.
- Review the boundaries on confidentiality and acceptable borrower contact.
Common mistakes
- Using threats or embarrassment instead of approved, professional recovery methods.
- Accepting a repayment promise without testing its amount, source and timing.
- Failing to record contact attempts, borrower statements and agreed next actions.
