We are looking for a Collections Specialist to join a team in Illinois on a contract-to-permanent basis.

- Manage a portfolio of overdue accounts and lead each case through the collection process until a resolution is reached.
- Place a high volume of outbound calls to engage account holders, discuss balances, and move accounts toward payment.
- Arrange payment solutions, settlement terms, and other recovery options while protecting overall collection value.
- Research and locate difficult-to-contact individuals by using available tracing tools and account resources.
- Monitor aging accounts closely and follow up consistently to reduce outstanding receivables.
- Record all account activity, communication attempts, and payment commitments accurately within collection systems.
- Work toward established recovery goals, productivity benchmarks, and call performance expectations.
- Handle challenging account holder interactions professionally while maintaining persistence and control of the conversation.
