Recruiting credit control temps for the Christmas season

The Christmas period is naturally a very busy time for all businesses, with plenty to be done in order to capitalise on the festive season.

To help achieve this, it is likely that your company will need to bring in reinforcements on a temporary basis, and you will need to be on your toes if you want to get the best people on board. Portfolio Credit Control can help with this.

With so many businesses battling to get extra staff in, it is imperative not to lose sight of the necessity to bring in quality as well as quantity. For this reason, it is best to get a head start on the recruitment process, rather than waiting until December before trying to line up any new faces.

How to find the best temp staff

You should treat your approach to finding Christmas credit control temps in the same way as you would any other recruitment process. This means deciding which qualities you are looking for before you set out, and allowing our dedicated recruitment consultants to source candidates who match your preferences.

By giving our team important information such as how long you require temporary staff to work, the duties they will be undertaking and whether there is any possibility of further employment, you can assist us in ensuring you only speak to relevant candidates. This is especially important if you need temporary credit managers to help deal with a busy Christmas.

By taking these steps early on, you will save time in the long run and won’t have to deal with too much once the festive season is underway. We will do as much of the work as you need us to, for example we often speak to candidates beforehand in order to whittle the field down still further before sending a select few to you for an interview.

Our team know what qualities a good credit control candidate should have, so you can trust Portfolio Credit Control to find the right people for your organisation.
