Trussle says it will hire 1,000 new brokers next year as part of the online mortgage broker’s plans for rapid expansion.
The firm will start its recruitment drive by hiring 100 brokers by the end of 2021 as it bids “to improve the consumer journey”.
The business is following a similar strategy to its US parent, online mortgage broker Better, which last year saw its workforce jump to 8,000 staff from 1,000.
Better bought Trussle in July for an undisclosed fee.
Trussle, founded in 2015, says its best performing advisers earn over £100,000, and are supported with mental health coaching and dedicated learning and development.
Trussle chief executive Ian Larkin says: “Our ambition is to expand strategically and swiftly, replicating Better’s model of growth and steadfast commitment to making homeownership more simple, fair and accessible for all.”
Last week, Trussle vowed to deliver mortgage decisions in five days of submissions.
The new service is called ‘Mortgage Speed Promise’, which Trussle says will see customers offered mortgage advice within 24 hours and a mortgage decision within five days.
