A mortgage recruiter who's been in the chair.
Love and Tacos Media was founded by Dalila Ramos after 25+ years recruiting inside the mortgage industry. As your loan officer recruiter, we find producing loan officers, branch leaders, and operations talent — and get them to actually respond. Based in Orlando, FL, serving lenders nationwide.
What a mortgage recruiter actually does for you
We find the loan officers you can't reach
The producers worth hiring are employed and closing loans — not scrolling job boards. A mortgage recruiter's job is warm, direct outreach from someone who speaks the industry's language. That's the work we do every day.
We screen before you ever see a name
Production history, motivation, culture fit, realistic comp expectations — we qualify every candidate on a real call and hand you a shortlist with written notes, not a stack of resumes.
We keep candidates warm to the start date
Most searches die in the final two weeks. We manage follow-up, interview logistics, and offer conversations so late-stage fallout doesn't sink months of sourcing.
We build pipelines that reflect your market
Deliberate, inclusive sourcing isn't a checkbox for us — it's the specialty. Your recruiting pipeline should look like the communities you lend to.

- ✦Producing loan officers & mortgage loan originators (MLOs)
- ✦Branch managers & sales managers

Mortgage recruiter questions, answered
What does a mortgage recruiter do?
A mortgage recruiter finds, screens, and delivers mortgage professionals — loan officers, branch managers, processors, and operations staff — to lenders and brokerages. Unlike a job board, a recruiter personally reaches out to employed producers, qualifies them on production and fit, and manages the process through offer and start date.
How is a loan officer recruiter different from posting a job ad?
Job ads reach people who are actively looking — a small slice of the market, and rarely the top producers. A loan officer recruiter goes direct: identifying performing LOs at other shops, starting confidential conversations, and presenting your opportunity the way a peer would.
Do you recruit outside of Florida?
Yes. We're based in Orlando, FL, and recruit for lenders nationwide. Mortgage is a relationship business, and our network spans the country.
