Lendio, a U.S. small business solutions provider, will hire 500 employees by the end of January 2021, with 190 full-time, temporary-to-hire employees joining by Jan. 7. Positions are available in the Salt Lake City and Long Island, NY, regions.

Lendio has facilitated more than 100,000 Paycheck Protection Program loan approvals for small business owners and is hiring additional team members to meet the projected incoming demand with the anticipated extension of the program.

Recruiting firm PrincePerelson will work with Lendio to attract the high volume of employees.

Additionally, Lendio is hiring a number of permanent team members to help support its core business. Positions are available in product, development, business development, customer experience, marketing and other departments.

The majority of new hires will be working remotely, as Lendio continues to operate under CDC and health experts’ guidelines. Employees will transition to Lendio’s headquarters in Lehi, UT, or its office in Woodbury, NY, when it is deemed safe to return to the workplace.

“The effects of COVID-19 have been devastating to small businesses around the country, and to millions of American workers,” Brock Blake, CEO and co-founder of Lendio, said. “We are grateful for the chance to provide opportunities, both to small businesses seeking relief and to individuals seeking employment. These permanent and temporary team members will be directly impacting the livelihoods of thousands of Americans as they help small business owners in desperate need of assistance.”

“PrincePerelson is delighted to partner with Lendio to provide high-volume, quality talent to their team,” Bre Marrder, vice president of volume recruiting and client success at PrincePerelson, said. “We are honored to be a part of this hiring initiative and to have an opportunity to make an impact for small businesses. This will greatly affect many workers and families whose lives have been altered by COVID-19.”
