Staffing Firm to Provide Temp Workers to Lenders One

Lenders One Mortgage, the St. Louis-based cooperative, has selected Clayton Staffing Solutions, Shelton, Conn., to provide contract Federal Housing Administration and conforming mortgage underwriters to its members who need them to deal with temporary or full-time capacity issues. Clayton could also provide personnel for closing, processing, quality control, default management and servicing functions. Lender One members have the option of having the staffers work out of their locations or at Clayton's National Operations Center in Tampa, Fla. Luke Pille, Lenders One director of National Programs, said the arrangement helps members to capitalize on current market opportunities and to have the option of taking fixed labor costs and converting them to variable costs. Clayton's database of potential staffers includes over 10,000 underwriters and processors nationwide.
