Mortgage Choice chief executive Michael Russell said the brokerage plans on recruiting 100 new loans consultants this year to take advantage of the strong property market.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for our franchisees to grow their business in this ever-improving property market,” said Mr Russell.
“While many of our franchisees could do with more staff, hiring the perfect person for the job is often easier said than done, which is why we have launched the 'Plus One' incentive,” he said.
But while the company has made its aggressive recruitment plans very clear, Mr Russell was quick to point out that the brokerage would not recruit just for recruitment's sake.
“Our training program and educational resources ensure that every loan writer we bring on board not only possesses the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in this business, but is able to hit the ground running and start performing at peak capacity very quickly,” he said.
“While we are keen to recruit more brokers this year, we will continue to be selective about who we bring on board and make sure the brokers we introduce to the business are the best in class,” said Mr Russell.
