Debt Recovery Services
Debt Recovery for Recruitment Agencies and Staffing Firms
Recruitment agencies and staffing firms invest significant time in candidate sourcing, screening and placement — often invoicing on credit terms with 30-day or longer payment periods. When client employers delay or refuse payment for successful placements or ongoing temp contracts, the impact on agency cash flow is immediate.
Hay's Collections recovers debts for recruitment and staffing businesses across the UK. We pursue unpaid placement fees, temp contract arrears, retained search balances and contract staffing invoice debts.
In addition to our core No Collection, No Commission debt recovery service, we provide a comprehensive range of ancillary services — including debtor tracing, credit checks, legal escalation, statutory demands and enforcement support — ensuring your case receives the full specialist attention it deserves.
