LendInvest in the Press: Recruitment Drive & Taking P2P Seriously

LendInvest is growing very quickly, and we’re excited to be hiring so many talented people to grow our team. With over 60 people in the office at present, we’re expecting to have over 100 employees by spring 2016. The story was featured around the web this month.

LendInvest Recruitment Drive

Our recruitment drive story was picked up in Mortgage Introducer, Crowdfund Insider and Bridging & Commercial. In an effort to grow the business, we have many new job openings available, including positions sales, underwriting and IT. We’re also hiring business development managers for both bridging and development finance, along with senior underwriters and mortgage case managers. Our Head of Distribution Matt Tooth wrote a blog post that was also published in Mortgage Introducer, suggesting we encourage competition in the mortgage recruitment market. 

He says, “At LendInvest we pride ourselves on three key differentiators. Most crucially, we don’t care about ‘time served’. A set number of years’ service doesn’t determine competence or likelihood to prosper. Our employees progress because they take the initiative, show innovative ideas and create their own success. It’s as simple as that.”

Treating P2P like a grown-up industry

Our CEO Christian Faes wrote an article for Financial News entitled, ‘The City needs to start treating P2P like a grown-up industry.’ Christian explains that online lenders like LendInvest are transacting a lot, while making money at the same time, proving any doubters in the City wrong. P2P is certainly a sector that is here to stay.

“As a fintech entrepreneur running a peer-to-peer lending business, it’s great that so many people in the City want to talk about our sector and support its growth. But it does seem at times that P2P is evolving too fast for Square Mile opinion-makers to keep up. That’s a concern. If P2P in the UK is going to emulate its success in the US, we must build a City profile that matches the reality.”
