Debt Collection Industry Outlook
The debt collection industry plays a crucial role in the financial ecosystem, helping businesses maintain cash flow and minimize losses. In the U.S. alone, the accounts receivable management market size is 3.04 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach 5.32 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 11.84% from 2024 to 2029. Additionally, in the US, 55% of all B2B invoiced sales are overdue according to a recent study.
As businesses face higher delinquencies, companies must adapt by hiring top-tier talent for legal collections recruitment, credit and collections recruitment, and skip tracing talent acquisition. In this evolving landscape, partnering with a debt collection recruiting firm like Blue Signal gives organizations access to experienced collections specialists staffing solutions.

GM Director
Industrial Technology Firm
Blue Signal understood our hiring needs extraordinarily well. Each candidate forwarded to date has been one worthy of strong consideration. Remarkable, considering I’ve spoken to some 40 to 50 Blue Signal candidates by now. Clearly, significant vetting is done up-front by Blue Signal. In the past, via other providers, I’ve been used to a “hit rate” - of below 50% for truly qualified, considerable candidates. With Blue Signal I have undeniably spent more time interviewing real candidates and less time overall in the hiring process since there’ve been no ‘wasted’ interviews – no “why am I talking to this person?”
