The company is looking to immediately hire more than 400 employees
loanDepot has held a virtual job fair as part of its efforts to add more team members this year.
The company opened more than 400 positions during the hiring event, which went on live across loanDepot's social media channels. loanDepot said the job fair fielded thousands of inquiries and that its recruitment team followed up on hundreds of applicants by the end of the day.
"Today was very important to us for two reasons," said loanDepot founder and CEO Anthony Hsieh. "First, we want prospective candidates to know that there are outstanding job opportunities available with us. And, second, we want people to have greater awareness of the significant work we are doing to make a difference in the lives of people nationwide. If you are inspired to help your fellow Americans and want to do work that will impact people's lives, loanDepot is where you should be."
The firm recently announced that it is looking to fill 3,000 roles, ranging from sales and operations to marketing and information technology at all skill levels by the end of the year.
"The enthusiastic response we received to today's event is truly unprecedented," said Kevin Tackaberry, executive vice president of human resources. "In today's new 'normal' where most people are safely sheltering in place, what better way for our recruiters to meet thousands of amazing candidates than through this virtual experience. And that's the other great story here—we met so many individuals who are eager and excited to help their fellow Americans—and also be a part of the loanDepot story."
"This is a tremendous and historic moment for us," Hsieh said. "The country, and the world, are going through some significant challenges, and we don't want to forget that. But, one of the primary reasons we're holding this event is to provide a positive moment during these unprecedented times, and we're very excited to share our company story with you today."
