The 10 best mortgage broking recruiters in Melbourne in 2026

The only other Melbourne firm whose business is broking end to end. Platinum People Group calls itself a specialised mortgage brokerage and third-party banking recruiter, and its live roles, about twenty across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, run from brokers and parabrokers to credit analysts, loan packagers and settlements staff. It also recruits aggregator and lender BDMs, which suits a Melbourne brief that crosses the channel.

Its head office is a coworking desk at The Commons in South Yarra. The evidence is what costs it: testimonials that stop in 2020, no SEEK review in the past year, and a claim of 250 brokerages recruited for that is its own, on a page last changed in 2022. Ask for two Melbourne placements from this year and ring them.

Integrate climbs a place in Melbourne because the single Melbourne base that holds it back nationally doesn't count against it here. Its Melbourne page names the consultants, Samantha, Jacqui and Ben, as specialising in mortgage brokers, credit analysts and client service officers, and its fifteen-role broking list, from parabroker to head of lending, is the broadest of any multi-sector firm here.

It's the most visibly active of the boutiques: two articles on hiring brokers in July and August 2026, and 86 of its 111 SEEK reviews from the past year. The 1,200 placements since 2018 it quotes are firm-wide and its own figure, and it publishes no street address.

The Box Hill boutique, run by its founder Nathan Soti from a single office in Melbourne's east. It recruits brokers, loan writers, processors and office managers, and says it tests brokers on scenarios, down to whether they can run a serviceability calculator and pick the right lender, before you meet them.

It has the strongest review record of the Melbourne boutiques, 241 Google reviews at five stars and 189 on SEEK at 4.99, and a broking case study for a Mortgage Choice franchise in Williamstown and Chatswood, though its case studies date from 2022. The 90% one-year retention it quotes is its own figure. It doesn't list credit analysts among its broking roles, so it suits a broker or support hire best.

Fuse runs its broking desk from Hawthorn, where Lachie Young leads the financial services team and recruits Brisbane roles as well as Victorian ones. Its broking page lists sixteen role types, from broking assistants and triage officers to senior credit analysts, and shows anonymised candidates on the market now.

It sits two places lower than nationally only because the three-state footprint that lifts it there counts for less in its home city. What it has that the boutiques don't is size and temp: nearly 2,000 SEEK reviews firm-wide and a replacement guarantee on permanent hires, period not published. For temp cover on a support seat while the permanent hire is done properly, it's the obvious Melbourne call.

Profusion has a Bourke Street office and the strongest dedicated credit and lending desk of the financial services firms. It names brokers alongside banks, private lenders and non-banks as employers, and lists BDMs, relationship managers, credit analysts and lending support among its roles.

For a Melbourne non-bank's credit team or a lender's broker-facing BDMs, it's one of the first calls. For a principal hiring a second broker into a six-person brokerage, it's a lender-side desk doing a brokerage brief.

The only global generalist with a published Victorian banking lead, Rebecca Lazar, in a dedicated banking office on Bourke Street. Its banking page is also the only one of the global firms' to name mortgage broking and non-bank lending among the areas it recruits.

It's a real local bench with temp and contract cover, but it publishes nothing specific to Victorian broking: no brokerage clients and no case studies. Good for a lender or a large group hiring support in volume.

Hays brings the biggest network in the country to a Melbourne search. Its desk lists loan processors, home loan specialists, settlement officers and credit analysts.

It takes brokerage briefs, but its desk page is written for banks and financial institutions, which shows where the weight sits. It's a dependable volume desk rather than a broking specialist.

The only firm here that names broker franchising and aggregation as sectors in their own right, from a Collins Street office. It works the senior end, listing broker firms, aggregation and broker franchising among its sectors, and the founders say they started at GE Finance more than twenty years ago.

It's young, and its site names no team, clients or case studies, hence the evidence score of one. Worth a call for an aggregator or franchise group hiring a leader.

A Melbourne and Sydney search boutique founded in 2008 and owned by its directors, Huw Thomas and Matt Frost. It places senior relationship managers across asset, property and invoice finance, plus heads of credit and senior credit analysts, for banks, fintechs and non-bank funders.

Brokerages aren't among the clients it names. It's here because a Melbourne commercial brokerage hiring a senior relationship manager out of a bank is fishing in exactly the pool Thomas Frost works.
