Residential Finance Plans to Hire 75-100 in 3Q

Residential Finance Corp., a nationwide mortgage lender, has announced plans to hire 75 to 100 people in the third quarter, the majority of them to fill positions in the company's Columbus, Ohio, headquarters and its office in Tampa, Fla. "The slowdown in the housing market has put more than 200 U.S. lending operations out of business, leaving nearly 1,000 talented mortgage professionals jobless in Ohio, and even more in Florida," said company president Michael Isaacs. "We'd like to invite those seasoned loan officers with extensive mortgage banking experience and a commitment to excellence to give us a call." Residential Finance said its mortgage professionals receive 25 hours of intense mortgage training, including team training in its proprietary "incubator," a simulated classroom environment where experienced trainers provide additional training support.
