FinTalent

FinTalent is a specialist recruitment agency focused exclusively on the finance and mortgage broking ecosystem. Founded and led by Joe Shephard, FinTalent provides executive search and placement services for mortgage brokers, commercial finance brokers, credit analysts, loan processors, business development managers and senior customer success managers. The agency operates a transparent, relationship-driven model where every interaction is handled directly by the founder rather than junior recruiters or call centres, ensuring personalised attention and genuine industry expertise throughout the entire recruitment journey.

FinTalent specialises in mortgage broking recruitment, finance broking recruitment, and credit analysis recruitment. The agency places professionals across roles including mortgage brokers, commercial finance brokers, residential and commercial credit analysts, credit managers, heads of lending, senior customer success managers, business development managers, development finance brokers and asset finance brokers. Each placement is supported by psychometric testing where appropriate, detailed market mapping, and comprehensive screening to ensure genuine fit between candidate and employer.

Operating from Melbourne and serving clients right across Australia, FinTalent differentiates itself through unwavering accountability, transparency and abundance. The agency judges itself on candidate retention rather than placement volume, follows every hire through their settling-in period, and shares market data and salary intelligence freely with clients and candidates. FinTalent works exclusively with brokerages and finance professionals who treat hiring and career moves as proper strategic decisions, not transactional exercises, building long-term relationships that extend well beyond individual placements.
