Hammerhouse, an expanding national recruiting and strategic growth firm for the financial service industry with mortgage sales and leadership placement at its core, has doubled the size of its office in Hickory, North Carolina.

""The need to expand our Hickory, North Carolina office is a direct result of the increased demand from our Mortgage Banking clients for experienced retail and wholesale production professionals that focus on purchase business and have transferable relationships from referral partners and past customers,"" said Eric Levin, managing partner at Hammerhouse and head of the Eastern U.S.

In addition, the company hired Lisa Medeiros and Brandi Floyd to support and service clients' strategic initiatives for production growth.

Medeiros, brought on as a recruiter and strategic growth partner, comes to Hammerhouse with more than 25 of experience in executive recruiting and sales. Previously, she was an executive recruiter for a firm that focused on sourcing mortgage banking professionals, and before that, she held various sales positions in financial services and other industries. In her new role at Hammerhouse, Medeiros will partner with clients to support their production platforms' growth in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern markets.

Floyd brings with her a strong background in inside/outside sales support, marketing, and public relations. In her role as recruiting coordinator, she will support Hammerhouse's Eastern U.S. recruiting team and will assist clients in the day-to-day management of all sales support and marketing activities.

The expansion of Hammerhouse's office and staff will help the company prepare to launch its operations talent recruiting division, named Tactical Ops Recruiting Quality--or TORQ.

""The hiring of both Lisa and Brandi will ensure we are positioned to offer our clients the service and support they need to find model-matched origination to grow their production channels, and in the not too distant future, experienced operational professionals through our new division TORQ,"" Levin said.
