Policy depth
Knows the lenders, the niches, and exactly where a deal falls over.
Credit Analyst recruitment
Credit Analysts structure the deals, know the policy inside out and protect the file.
We place the ones who make your brokers faster and your business safer,
and who often turn into your next brokers.
The role
The Credit Analyst is the quality control of a brokerage, and often a stepping stone into broking or credit leadership.
Get it right and your brokers write more, cleaner files.
Get it wrong and you get rework, avoidable declines and compliance risk creeping in quietly until they cost you.
What we look for
Structuring instinct
Finds the path to yes without bending the rules.
Detail and care
The kind of care the job lives or dies on.
Clear trajectory
A lot of the best ones want a path into broking, so we match that ambition to the right spot.
Pay
Credit Analysts typically sit between processing and broking on pay, with the spread driven by policy depth and deal complexity.
