Talent Acquisition Specialist
Lending Force | Troy, MI
Lending Force | Troy, MI | 100% On-Site
$55,000–$65,000 Base Salary + Commission
This Isn't a Sit-Back-and-Wait Recruiting Role.
Lending Force is growing, and we're looking for a high-energy, results-driven Talent Acquisition Specialist who knows how to find great people, sell an opportunity, and turn strong candidates into hires.
We're a leading mortgage brokerage partnered with United Wholesale Mortgage, the nation's #1 wholesale mortgage lender. From our headquarters in Troy, Michigan, we're continuing to expand our team of licensed Mortgage Loan Officers — and we need a recruiter who can help drive that growth.
This isn't a traditional recruiting position where your day revolves around reviewing inbound applications.
We need a recruiter who can hunt.
You'll proactively source licensed Loan Officers, start conversations, build relationships, overcome objections, sell the Lending Force opportunity, and keep candidates engaged through the hiring process.
If you're competitive, persuasive, comfortable picking up the phone, and motivated by seeing your hires turn into successful employees, we want to meet you.
What You'll Earn
Base Salary: $55,000–$65,000 per year
Plus: $250 for every successful hire once the employee completes 60 days with Lending Force.
The more effectively you recruit and retain great talent, the more you can earn.
You'll also receive:
- 401(k) with Company Match
- Health Insurance
- Dental Insurance
- Vision Insurance
- Paid Time Off
- Performance-based hiring incentives
- Opportunities for professional growth
What You'll Be Recruiting For
Your primary focus will be identifying and recruiting Mortgage Associates, Loan Processors, Mortgage Loan Officers, and Team Leads to join Lending Force.
You're not simply asking, "Are you looking for a new job?"
You'll learn what motivates candidates, understand what's missing from their current company, communicate the Lending Force value proposition, handle objections, and show strong candidates why making a move could accelerate their careers.
What You'll Do Source
Proactively identify qualified candidates through job boards, resume databases, LinkedIn, referrals, outbound recruiting, networking, and other sourcing channels.
Engage
Pick up the phone and start conversations. You'll build relationships with both active applicants and passive candidates who may not initially be looking for another opportunity.
Sell the Opportunity
Clearly communicate Lending Force's culture, compensation opportunity, lead support, benefits, technology, facilities, and growth potential.
Screen & Qualify
Conduct initial phone screens to evaluate experience, communication skills, licensing status, career goals, and overall fit.
Manage the Recruiting Pipeline
Own candidates from initial outreach through accepted offer, maintaining consistent follow-up and accurate records within our Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Close
Great candidates often have multiple options. You'll know how to address concerns, overcome objections, create urgency when appropriate, and help qualified candidates confidently make a decision.
Partner With Leadership
Work directly with hiring managers and company leadership to understand hiring needs, improve recruiting strategies, and meet aggressive growth targets.
Who We're Looking ForRequired
- 1+ year of recruiting experience
- Strong phone communication and interpersonal skills
- Experience proactively sourcing candidates rather than relying exclusively on inbound applicants
- Comfortable working toward measurable recruiting and hiring goals
- Highly organized with strong candidate follow-up
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment
- Ability to work 100% on-site in Troy, Michigan
- Reliable transportation for daily commuting
Strongly Preferred
- Mortgage industry recruiting experience
- Experience recruiting Loan Officers or other commissioned sales professionals
- High-volume recruiting experience
- Previous sales, business development, or outbound calling experience
- Experience working with an ATS, LinkedIn, Indeed, and candidate sourcing platforms
You'll Thrive Here If...
You're the recruiter who doesn't stop after sending an email.
You call. You follow up. You build relationships. You know how to sell.
You understand that recruiting is part talent acquisition, part relationship management, and part sales.
You're comfortable hearing "no" without losing momentum.
You're competitive enough to care about your numbers but professional enough to know that a great candidate experience matters.
And when you find someone great, you don't just send their resume to a hiring manager and move on — you own the process and help get the hire across the finish line.
