The 10 best mortgage broking recruiters in Australia in 2026

The biggest firm here with a published mortgage broking desk, and the one that came up first on most of the broking recruitment searches we ran in October 2026. Fuse covers everything from insurance to infrastructure, and broking sits under its financial services practice, led from Melbourne by Lachie Young. Its broking page lists brokers, senior credit analysts and broking assistants, shows anonymised candidates on the market, and says its consultants have first-hand experience in the sector.

What it brings is footprint and flexibility: three offices across three states, temp as well as permanent, and a replacement guarantee on permanent hires, though it doesn't publish the period. The trade-off is focus. Broking is one desk among many, and its broking page shows client logos, including Liberty, Mortgage Choice, Shore Financial and Finspo, but no case studies or testimonials, which is what holds the evidence score back.

A Box Hill boutique run by its founder, Nathan Soti, with mortgage broking as one of nine sectors. The broking page is practical: it recruits brokers, loan writers and processors, and it says it tests candidates on scenarios, down to whether a broker can run a serviceability calculator and pick the right lender.

The evidence is better than most: 241 Google reviews averaging five stars on its homepage and two broking case studies, including a Mortgage Choice franchise, though both date from 2022. It says 90% of its placements stay more than a year, a figure it reports itself. One office in Melbourne's east is the limit on reach.

The only one of the big global generalists whose banking page names mortgage broking and non-bank lending outright. Randstad's banking and financial services practice is run nationally by Stephanie Patoka, with banking teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide and a Perth office that covers the sector.

It's a sensible call for a lender, or for a large broking group hiring several support staff across states. For a single senior broker into a principal-led business, a specialist will get closer to the brief.

Nobody on this list can match Hays for reach. It has offices in every state and territory, its banking desk lists credit, loan processing, home lending and settlements roles, and it advertises banking jobs in ten cities from Perth to Hobart. It does take brokerage mandates, including at least one exclusive brokerage search for a loan processor, but its desk page is written for banks, fund managers and financial institutions, and that's where most of the work sits.

If you're a lender hiring a team, or a brokerage in a city none of the specialists cover, Hays will have someone on the ground. Expect a big bench rather than one recruiter who knows your aggregator.

The other genuine broking specialist in the country. Platinum People Group describes itself as a specialised mortgage brokerage and third-party banking recruitment firm, and its live roles read that way: brokers, parabrokers, credit analysts, loan packagers and settlements staff across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Founder Roland Youakim has worked in the sector since 2010, according to the firm's site, and it says it has recruited for more than 250 brokerages. That figure is its own.

Because it also works the lender and aggregator side, it suits a brief that crosses over, such as a BDM who'll call on brokers or a credit role in a third-party lender. The evidence score reflects a website that hasn't been refreshed in a while: its testimonials page runs from 2018 to 2020, and its employers page names clients such as Resolve Finance and Better Choice Home Loans. Ask for something more recent before you brief.

Founded from a home office in 2018 by Samantha Bainbridge, Integrate works four core sectors: financial planning, mortgage broking, accounting and wealth management. Its broking role list is the broadest published by any multi-sector firm here, running from parabroker and loan processor through to commercial finance broker and head of lending, and it has written recently about hiring senior brokers.

It's Melbourne-based. It has pages for Sydney, Brisbane and Perth but no published offices there, which is what the reach score reflects. It says it has made more than 1,200 placements since 2018 across all its sectors, and a team of 12, both its own figures.

Michael Page has been in Sydney since 1985 and runs a financial services practice across six offices that lists lending, credit analysis and credit approval among its roles. It says nothing about broking, and it doesn't publish who leads the lending work, which is why it sits near the bottom of the ten.

Worth a call for a credit role inside a bank or a large lender, particularly in Canberra or Western Sydney, where it has offices.

The strongest dedicated credit and lending desk among the financial services firms. Profusion names brokers, private lenders and non-banks among the employers it recruits for, and lists BDMs, lending support and administration among the roles. It has grown by acquisition, merging with Primary Asset Consulting in 2014 and buying Kennedy Reid in 2023 and Zanetti Recruitment in 2024, and it was named in the AFR BOSS Best Places to Work list in 2023, 2024 and 2025.

It's built for lender-side hiring more than for a twelve-person brokerage, which is what the principal fit score reflects. For a non-bank's BDM or credit team, it's one of the first calls.

Bluefin's banking, credit and lending practice has run since 2008 and is the one to know if you're on the lender side of the broker channel. It lists non-bank lending specialists for broker channels and state sales managers by name, which are the people who call on brokerages rather than work in them, and its lending lead, Paula Price, has more than 20 years in recruitment according to the firm.

For a brokerage hiring a broker it's the wrong door. For a non-bank building out its BDM team, it's one of the few firms that writes about that brief specifically.
