| A Florida-based bank has already hired more than 80 new mortgage employees this year and is looking for in excess of 100 more.EverBank Financial Corp. added 82 new mortgage positions from Jan. 1 through Feb. 28, a spokeswoman told MortgageDaily.com in a statement.
Included in the job additions were 63 Florida hirings, eight New York additions and five Illinois recruits. The rest of the additions were spread through California, Colorado and Texas. The Jacksonville-based company said it is actively recruiting for another 113 employees, including 92 in Florida, six in New York and five each in California and Colorado. EverBank currently employs more than 900 mortgage employees in servicing and production positions. The lender said it originated $5.5 billion in residential loans last year — including mortgages from EverBank Reverse Mortgage, which was sold to MetLife Bank, N.A., in May 2008. EverBank, which last year saw a $100 million investment from Sageview Capital LP, reported record net income of $46 million during 2008, up 52 percent from 2007. The company walked away from an agreement last year to acquire NetBank “after it became clear that NetBank would not be able to complete certain conditions required to close and receive regulatory approval.” |
