ServiceLink, the Coraopolis-based mortgage-settlement company, hopes to expand its Pittsburgh staff by 150 new employees–close to an 18-percent jump in its local workforce of approximately 850–possibly before the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals meet for their own Super Bowl-settlement this weekend.
Match-ups between the company and aspirants to its team of IT professionals will take place during the company’s two-day job fair on Friday, January 30, and Saturday, January 31, in the Doubletree Hotel at Pittsburgh International Airport.
“Yes, we will be hiring and making offers on the spot, absolutely,”says Robert J. Dunn, executive vice president for finance and humanresources.
The hiring surge follows a pickup in demand for the company’s services for mortgage originations and defaults–a growth in business owed to the worldwide cleanup of the sub-prime mortgage market implosion.
“It’s all related obviously to the economy, and we are very customer focused, and we just want to make sure we have the right number of people to service our customers,” Dunn says.
Several dozen Service Link managers will share the assignment of interviewing candidates at the Doubletree.
ServiceLink hopes to hire IT professionals with experience as business analysts, software engineers, database administrators and engineers, project managers, QA technicians, and help-desk and application-support personnel. The company, founded in 1997, is known for its suite of technology-based products and services applied to property titles, settlements, appraisals, defaults, and asset management.
For general business operations, the company, which was acquired three years ago by publicly-traded, Jacksonville-FL-based Fidelity National Financial, seeks new staff in 13 job classifications, encompassing client services, title work, and tax certification. Many applicants are already posting resumes for the event at the company’s website. Dunn says the team members drafted at the event will help ServiceLink to provide services to a wide variety of clients, including eight of the top 10 mortgage lenders in the United States.
