Demand for mortgage brokers will rise in the coming months as organisations continue to develop their finance and lending areas and clients seek the best advice when it comes to financial concerns, according to a new report by one of the country’s leading recruitment centres.
International recruitment agency Hays’ Quarterly Report Jan-March, 2013, lists mortgage broking as being one of the top industries expected to experience growth this year.
“Mortgage broking, mortgage support and mortgage compliance – there seems to be an increase in demand for mortgage candidates as more and more organisations add finance arms to their business. Banks also have seen the flow-on affect with more loans to be processed. Transformation projects have also caused an increase in demand.”
In a statement made to news.com.au, Hays senior regional director, Peter Noblet, says mortgage and finance employees are becoming more sought after as time goes on.
"They're always in demand, professional advisers to corporate and individuals, because everyone wants to get the best advice they can when it comes to financial matters.”
The report says Hays expects to see increased pressure on salary and remuneration packages in some ‘metro’ markets, which is being driven by the temporary oversupply for various types of staff.
“That being said, candidates with a steady work history are still in demand. In the accountancy and finance industry, for example, salaries appear to be under pressure with several firms offering better training and internal development to entice new candidates. Employers will need to promote their organisations more to attract top-tier candidates.”
