A thousand people are being recruited by Quicken Loans Inc. to work in the company’s adopted home town.
The online mortgage lender already employed 12,000 people across the country as of the end of last year, the same as it had on staff at the end of last month.
In just the Motor City, where Quicken maintains its headquarters, staffing is reported at 10,000 team members.
But recruiting plans have the Detroit staff growing by a thousand positions, Quicken Loans PR Manager Jordan Fylonenko confirmed in a written statement.
The lender is reportedly hosting a job fair
on April 18 at the Chase Tower in Detroit.
Fylonenko noted that the openings are in information technology, mortgage banking and operations. In addition, opportunities exist in other areas.
