Employee Hiring Practices

Description

Hiring in the mortgage industry requires compliance with a range of federal and state laws, as well as adherence to industry-specific regulatory standards. Professionals in this field must meet and maintain specific qualifications to perform their roles effectively and in accordance with applicable laws.

Effective hiring practices involve a thorough and diligent process to ensure that each candidate satisfies the minimum requirements for their specific position. This includes verifying licensure, experience, and other credentials where applicable.

For roles that require licensure through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS), relevant information should be reviewed and verified through the NMLS database. For positions not requiring an NMLS license, employers should implement additional screening procedures as appropriate. These may include, but are not limited to, background checks, credit reports, employment history verification, and criminal record investigations.

By following these best practices outlined in the policy and procedures, organizations can help ensure compliance, uphold industry standards, and maintain the integrity and trustworthiness of their workforce.
