The recruitment aims to support the company's growth plans
Online mortgage broker Mojo Mortgages has revealed expansion plans for the rest of 2022, six months after its acquisition by a global group of online brands.
The Manchester-based broker, which now employs 74 staff members across the UK, has reported significant growth since its acquisition in December 2021 by RVU, which also owns Uswitch, Money.co.uk, and Confused.com, among others.
Mojo said it plans to scale this growth further over the next six months. Key to these plans is an ongoing recruitment drive, with the business planning to hire over 50 more staff members before the end of the year across its advice, case management, sales, QA and L&D teams. This includes the recruitment of more than 30 mortgage advisers during this period.
“The last six months has been a whirlwind for Mojo Mortgages as we have embarked on the first stage of our scaling plans as part of RVU,” Richard Hayes (pictured), chief executive and co-founder of Mojo Mortgages, said.

“We have been able to help more people than ever before on their mortgage journey at a time when the property market is as hot as it has been in many years.”
Hayes added that the company is now in a position to boost its growth efforts heading into the second half of the year and that the recruitment of new talent will be key to achieving this.
“As the rising cost-of-living continues to impact homeowners and prospective first-time buyers across the country, we want to invest heavily into our advice and application teams to ensure we continue to put customers in the best position when navigating the mortgage process,” he said.
