CAVU Partners

CAVU Partners is a niche executive search firm focusing exclusively on the mortgage industry and connecting top performing people with high performance companies. CAVU is an acronym used in aviation indicating Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited, a pilot's way of describing optimal flying conditions, which the firm uses metaphorically to describe its ultimate goal for both loan officers and lending institutions they serve. The company's leadership team has over thirty years of mortgage recruiting experience and has successfully helped hundreds of the nation's top originators and production groups identify the best company to complement their business.

Cavu Partners works with some of the most respected mortgage banking organisations in the country, ranging from large national banks to community banks and regional correspondent lenders, carefully selecting to represent only organisations that are stable, committed to growth, and have a strong operations model. Over the past decade, Cavu Partners has helped clients penetrate new markets and expand existing markets by placing billions of dollars in new loan originations, including several of the top 200 loan originators in the nation. For production professionals, the firm offers confidential career exploration, developing thorough understanding of career motivations, marketing strategies, business niche, and company challenges before identifying organisations addressing specific needs and desires.

The firm takes a consultative approach, obtaining deep understanding of individual candidate pains, desires, and business breakdown before suggesting companies. Cavu Partners recognises that loan officers across the country often hold preconceived notions about particular banks and mortgage companies based on false perceptions, which the firm addresses through education and market expertise. The team is well connected with mortgage-centric banks and well-capitalised mortgage bankers across the industry and continuously researches changes and proactively identifies trends that impact career decisions and recruiting opportunities.
