Reporting to a Team Lead, as Skip Trace Investigator, you will use internet databases and phone tools in order to locate customers and/or collateral. Daily, you will leverage paid databases, provided and found search sites, social media and other tools as you manage an assigned portfolio of clients and cases. The number of calls you make per day will be determined by the complexity of your assigned portfolio, but expectations will be clear. When you are able to reach the customer, you will take an ethical stance, bringing confidence and a strong emotional IQ to the conversation. That may mean providing empathy, negotiating the return of the vehicle, de-escalating a challenging conversation -- whatever is appropriate for the encounter. Being able to think on your feet and bring a strong service orientation to every interaction will be key.
