CHL in recruitment drive

CHL is currently filling positions in its asset management, mortgage administration, arrears and finance teams. The new employees will be working on CHL’s ongoing management of its mortgage book which covers both buy-to-let and homeloan lending.

The lender is seeking experienced candidates who are interested in joining an organisation committed to both its customers and its employees.

Bob Young, managing director at CHL Mortgages, commented: “At the moment we are recruiting to fill specific gaps across a range of teams within the business and this new resource will be used to ensure we maintain our focus on managing our existing book.

“What is particularly pleasing, given that we unfortunately had to go through a period of redundancies a couple of years ago, is to find that we are now able to recruit back some of those people who left the company then. Indeed, some of those individuals are leaving their current jobs to return to CHL which I think shows that we are quality business to work for and that our staff are at the heart of everything we do.

“This is another boost to the business following CHL’s top 20 position in this year’s Sunday Times’ UK Best Small Companies to work for award category.

“Clearly we went through a period a couple of years ago when, due to the pressures of the Credit Crunch and liquidity crisis, we had to stop originating business and redundancies were made. However, the business could not simply come to a standstill and instead we have worked tirelessly on managing our existing book and our recently released figures on arrears levels, performing accounts and impairment charges all show the heartening results that have come from this focus.

“It is likely that this will be an ongoing recruitment process as we look to add to our existing teams and we continue to provide quality services to all our stakeholders.”
