Bridging loan firm, SoMo, has appointed an in-house talent acquisition partner.
In the last 12 months, the lender has made nine new hires and expects this rate of expansion to continue.
Lindsey O’Neill (pictured) joins the Manchester based firm with a remit of recruiting top candidates, overseeing the onboarding process and developing personal growth plans to help retain talent. There are currently eight roles available, including key account managers and business development managers.
She said: “I’m delighted to join SoMo and be given the opportunity to build my own recruitment function. SoMo is a brilliant and exciting place to work. It has a great social environment, an exceptionally friendly and supportive team, and people can rise up the ranks quickly as the business goes from strength to strength.”
O’Neill has already appointed two new recruits to its sales team.
Jamie Jolly, SoMo’s managing director, added: “We’ve seen phenomenal growth over the last 12 months; in fact we’ve just had our most successful lending month since the company began. So, our recruitment strategy involves finding more people with the same drive and passion to maintain and grow our unrivalled relationships with brokers and keep pace with completions.
“Lindsey has already proved she can find the brightest talent in a candidate-led market so we’re confident SoMo can expand in line with our ambitions in 2022 and beyond.”
