Elevating talent strategies to a new level.
February 6, 2020 | Dallas, TX
Why Attend?
Attracting, developing and retaining top talent is a critical priority for mortgage lenders. HousingWire developed engage.talent to help lenders, servicers and others in the mortgage ecosystem compete and win in the pitched battle for talent.
Leaders and talent experts will discuss and share the best tools and strategies to hire and retain some of the most sought-after roles in mortgage: from the top tier of individual contributors like loan officers and underwriters, to branch managers or origination executives who can attract entire teams of top performers. We’ll also focus on attracting and developing the best digital originators — those who understand how to not only build a world-class tech stack, but also how to leverage it to run scalable origination operations.
The event will be packed with actionable insight and give attendees a chance to network as well as interact with partners and peers. Don’t miss the chance to engage with the most influential mortgage talent leaders at engage.talent.
