Day-to-day operating brief

What Credit Controller (Agency) work looks like in practice

A recruitment-agency Credit Controller collects invoices generated from permanent fees, temporary-worker hours and related services. Disputes may involve timesheets, rates, rebates, purchase orders or candidate starts, so accurate collaboration with consultants and payroll matters as much as contact cadence. Contract terms should identify ledger, client portfolio, credit and escalation authority, access to placement information, home-working controls, performance measures and boundaries around legal action, payment plans and suspension of supply. Temporary-labour invoices can continue while an older item is disputed. The controller should separate genuinely contested lines from undisputed current debt so operational clarification does not silently become permission to withhold every payment.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Maintain assigned debtor accounts.
Contact clients through approved channels.
Reconcile invoices payments and credits.
Investigate timesheet and fee disputes.
Monitor credit limits and ageing.
Prepare escalation for plans holds or legal action.

A realistic working scenario

A client disputes a temporary invoice because its manager has not approved the timesheet. The controller preserves the worker and system evidence and routes the operational dispute rather than simply threatening collection.

resolved evidenced invoice disputes
controlled credit-risk escalation
