Fintech firm acquired by Uswitch owner to create 50 new jobs

Online mortgage broker Mojo Mortgages is recruiting 50 new people as it prepares for the next stage of its growth.

The recruitment drives follows the acquisition of the Manchester-based fintech firm by RVU, the owners of Uswitch, Money.co.uk and Confused.com, in December 2021.

M is a free online mortgage broker, delivering personalised recommendations through smart tech and experts.

Since then Mojo Mortgages, which currently employs 74 people, has experienced ‘significant growth’ and plans to scale this further over the next six months are already under way.

Key to these growth plans is an ongoing recruitment drive, with the business planning to hire more than 50 members of staff before the end of the year across its advice, case management, sales, QA and L&D teams.

This includes 30 mortgage advisers during this period.

Richard Hayes, CEO and Co-Founder of Mojo Mortgages, a free online mortgage broker, delivering personalised recommendations through smart tech and experts, said: “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.

“We have been able to help more people than ever before on their mortgage journey at a time where the property market is as hot as it has been in many years.

“We’re now in a position to supercharge our growth efforts as we head into the second half of the year and 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.”
