Our story

People Over Placements. Relationships Over Resumes.

Hutchinson Mortgage Recruiting was founded by Jeff Hutchinson after more than two decades of leadership in mortgage banking and recruiting.

Since 2003, Jeff has helped shape careers, build leadership teams, and move markets through nearly 600 successful placements and more than $7B+ in funded loan volume.

We believe the right move is not about changing jobs. It is about aligning talent, platform, and opportunity in a way that creates long-term success.

HR relationship

We’re not headhunters. We’re matchmakers.

We take the time to understand culture, compensation, leadership structure, and operational reality before making a single introduction. For candidates, we focus on long-term career fit, not short-term gains.

Jeff Hutchinson has been the go-to mortgage recruiter in the North East since 2003, and founded Hutchinson Mortgage Recruiting in 2005. With almost 600 successful placements he has established himself as one of the top recruiting leaders in the mortgage industry.

While you may get tons of recruiting calls from corporate recruiters, Jeff and his team aren’t focused on pushing you towards one or two lenders. He and his team work with over 20 national and local banks/lenders. Most recruiters tell you only the positives about the companies they work with. Jeff tells you the positives as well as the negatives on each company out there. His unbiased approach is what makes him successful and a trusted figure in the mortgage community.

Hutchinson Mortgage Recruiting is here to match you with the right bank or lender who can support YOUR needs for competitive products and rate, along with strong management and operations.

Every mortgage professional is different. Every company is different. Success comes from alignment, not assumptions.

Our mission is to guide both talent and companies through informed decisions using real data, industry insight, and experience earned over decades. We do the homework so you do not have to.
