Why Chaser?

We believe in a world where all businesses have the confidence that they will get paid for their work. We're an international team all focused on making a huge difference in credit control so we have lots of ideas and are incredibly driven. We support and care about each other, are incredibly honest with our feedback and work together to achieve our weekly targets. There's no room for egos, the only agenda is making sure everything we do is to the best of our abilities and we smash our team targets!

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.

The culture we've created, the culture you'll be joining

We believe culture is the single most important component to our success. Although a small (but growing) business, we try our hardest to make sure that our staff feel rewarded, valued and supported. Here are a few of the things we’ve done this year to help build a great culture. 

• Work from home. 

• 25 days annual leave, plus national holidays

• We believe in celebrations so you get your birthday as a day off :-) 

• A bonus for every year at Chaser: 1 year - £100, 2 years - £200, 3 years - £300, etc. 

• NEST pension scheme, and employee share options 

• Company gift boxes! 

• Finally, we believe that you deserve a life full of energy and well-being - so we’ve signed up to Juno, a workplace support programme that provides health and wellbeing benefits. Whether that’s a wetsuit to open water swim in, or a subscription for Hello Fresh - we’ve got it covered! 

• Regular team staff outings; this year we went ice skating, dart throwing and played crazy golf, as well as had a few team lunches! 

• We believe in rewarding the team. In 2021, we did the following for the company for meeting revenue targets: 

  • Christmas shutdown in 2021 - as a reward and as a thank you for achieving all the milestones we set out in 2021. We felt it important to let our staff recharge their batteries. 

  • Half day Fridays in the summer of 2021 - we know how short the summer is in the UK, so we set goals that if achieved, would give staff Friday afternoons off throughout August.
