Quicken Loans Press Release

Press Release

About nine years ago I was working for a real estate company as a recruiter when I tried recruiting the owner of Quicken Loans, Dan Gilbert.    I approached him like anyone else I recruited without any knowledge of his reputation in the real estate industry.  Needless to say, he didn't take the job, instead he offered me one.  At that time, I was very content where I was at but kept his number just in case.  About two years later, I got in touch with again and before I knew it, I was part of the Quicken Loans team.  With that being said, six years later, here I am still going strong; working remotely from South Carolina.  I intend to continue my career within the Quicken Loans family after I graduate and this press release should explain why.
  • This is very important to know, "The survey is randomly distributed to team members, with the results of the survey accounting for two-thirds of the overall company score."
  • I like how all of the press realeases including this one, have quotes from the top folks at the company (Dan Gilber, Bill Emmerson, Jay Farner, Pat McInnis, Shawn Krause...etc.).  For this particular peioce the quotes are from the founders themselves which is important to show that the leaders are still activley involved.
  • I also like how the lead covers other areas where QL risen above the odds. "Quicken Loans Inc., the nation’s largest online home lender and a top-five retail lender, today was ranked among the Top 10 on FORTUNE Magazine’s annual “100 Best Companies to Work For” list. According to the FORTUNE report published online today, and on newsstands Monday, January 23, Quicken Loans ranked #10, making it the highest ranking Michigan company on the distinguished list. Quicken Loans has placed among the Top 30 companies on FORTUNE’s list for the past nine years."
