A verifiable track record
Settled volume, conversion, retention, the actual numbers, not just a title on a CV.
Mortgage Broker recruitment
We place residential Mortgage Brokers, the ones who look after first home buyers,
complex structures and investment lending, with brokerages who actually back their people.
It's the hire that builds your book for years, so it's worth doing properly.
The role
A broker is where your revenue comes from, and the hardest hire to get right.
Get it wrong and it costs you a year and a bit of your reputation.
Get it right and it pays off for years.
We're after the fit that lasts: the residential book they can realistically bring or build, how they handle clients and lenders, and whether they'll genuinely do well in your setup, not just get through onboarding.
What we look for
Relationships that travel
Client and referral relationships they can bring with them, and the credit know-how to make the most of them.
Compliance discipline
Clean files and sound advice, no shortcuts that come back to bite you.
Culture fit that sticks
The difference between someone who stays for years and someone who's gone in eighteen months.
Pay
Employed brokers typically run a base plus commission on settled volume. Self-employed brokers earn on a split of upfront and trail.
Frequently asked questions
- What does FinTalent look for in a mortgage broker?
A verifiable track record first, so settled volume, conversion and retention, not just a title on a CV.
Then the relationships they can realistically bring or build, clean compliance and files, and a culture fit that actually lasts. That last one is the difference between someone who stays for years and someone who's gone in eighteen months.
- What does it cost to hire a mortgage broker through FinTalent?
For an employed broker, 15% of the base salary plus super. Nothing else folded in, so no bonuses, commissions or cars on top.
If it's a self-employed contract-to-role, it's a flat $17,500 plus GST.
- How long does a mortgage broker search take?
We quote four to eight weeks, because that's the realistic window to land someone who's in it for the long haul.
Our average has been 27 days, but we won't rush a fit that has to work for years just to hit a number.
- Do you place brokers outside Melbourne?
Yes. FinTalent works nationally and has placed brokers in every state, so where you are isn't a limit on who we can find you.
- What if a broker placement doesn't work out?
There's a standard 120-day guarantee. That's enough time for both sides to know whether it's working and to call it if it isn't, and we're there the whole way through either way.
