“Thanks to the value we provide to homeowners across the nation, we are in a position to scale and welcome 3,000 talented individuals to team loanDepot by year’s end,” he said.
The company will hold a virtual job fair April 23 at 6 p.m. EST via a LinkedIn Live event on it’s the loanDepot LinkedIn channel.
“We’re in a new norm – but it’s a norm that we were prepared for,” Hsieh said. “Our team has created a process by which candidates can apply, onboard and train in an entirely virtual way. Our upcoming LinkedIn Live virtual job fair event is just one example of the way in which we have utilized technology to ensure that, while we are all at home, we are all still connected and able to perform critical functions for business health and growth, like sourcing and hiring new candidates, exceptionally well.”
