Outsource Broker Support Officers

What is a broker support officer?

A broker support officer is responsible for providing general administrative support and may also assist with processing loans from application through to settlement. Broker support officers handle a range of tasks. From managing incoming calls and customer service functions to entering loan applications into CRM and preparing formal loan documents for final sign off.

Broker support officer duties and tasks can include:

Maintaining client accounts and file documentation

Preparing and proofreading documents

Conducting relevant market research as directed by brokers

Generating marketing material and liaising with internal departments to create content

General administration duties

Loan processing and ensuring lender submissions are compliant with company and lender policies.

These broker support officer tasks are particularly well-suited to being outsourced as they are repetitive and rules-based, requiring a high level of attention to detail. By sending these transactional finance tasks out to an outsourced broker support officer, organisations can free up their local team’s time to focus on performing value-added, revenue generating work.

A broker support officer is an assistant to a broker. This requires quick and agile thinking to perform necessary administrative tasks to support their brokers. As they liaise with customers or clients, broker support officers need to have strong customer service skills. They need to be self-motivated and independent as well as possess analytical skills and strong attention to detail to be able to successfully problem solve.

Outsourcing providers recruit broker support officers the same way an internal, talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:

What experience and knowledge do you have providing administrative support?
What are your problem-solving, decision-making and judgement skills like?
How do you ensure excellent communication and uphold customer service when dealing with customers and internal stakeholders?
What organisation techniques do you use to ensure you collect, collate and keep up-to-date client information?
Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
What systems and tools are you familiar with?

In terms of qualifications, a higher education degree or certificate in business administration is desirable but not necessary. Broker support officers work in fast-paced and demanding environments, so being able to manage stress without jeopardising their quality of work is a key trait to any successful broker support officer.

Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation’s loan requirements:

Whether you are looking to train a broker support officer from the ground up and teach them your business's way of facilitating loan applications and supporting brokers, or
Whether you are seeking expertise and broker support officers with certifications and higher education.

Benefits of outsourcing broker support officer services

Organisations are able to appreciate the added benefits that come from offshoring broker support officer duties to the Philippines, including:

Increased employee satisfaction

Give your local team peace of mind by relieving them of any unnecessary tasks and sharing the workload with an offshore team or team member. This will help increase employee satisfaction within your business. With your broker support officer team able to focus on what they were hired to do, you can expect to see a positive change in your working atmosphere.
