How to apply for this job

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your SA ID or work permit plus last three payslips showing commission earned.

Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Kempton Park.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

Show your collection results as numbers (for example "collected R420 000 a month against a R350 000 target").
Interviewers often role-play a difficult debtor; stay polite, get a date and an amount, and close the call.
