Platform Specialist

Rate
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 6/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/17/2026

Rate is building something new — and this role is at the center of it!


We created the Platform Specialist role to solve one of the biggest drop-off points in our recruiting pipeline: the gap between a warm candidate and a real conversation with someone who can close them. No more scheduling delays. No more candidates going cold. Just live, seamless connections when it matters most.


-----


🔹 WHAT YOU’LL DO


• Accept live transfers from our call center recruiting team and engage candidates in real time

• Lead consistent, scripted conversations that bring Rate’s platform, tools, and advantages to life

• Walk candidates through our full suite — products, workflow, technology, and what it means for a VP’s business and quality of life

• Use video and presentation assets to answer questions on the spot

• Represent Rate’s corporate voice on every single call — with energy, clarity, and consistency


-----


🔹 WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT


You work for Rate and have a steady stream of opportunities to support recruiting efforts nationally. That means:


✅ Salaried, stable, no commission dependency

✅ Consistent messaging owned at the corporate level

✅ Real ability to scale and adapt as the market shifts

✅ Founding member of a brand-new department


-----


🔹 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR


• Strong phone communicator who builds rapport fast

• Comfortable with structured scripts while still sounding human

• Able to retain and deliver detailed product/platform knowledge

• High energy and high availability — you’re ready when candidates are

• Background in mortgage, financial services, recruiting, or inside sales a plus

• High-volume call or contact center experience preferred


-----


🔹 WHAT YOU’LL GET


• Competitive base salary

• Full benefits

• Clear role with strong internal support and room to grow

• A chance to help build something from the ground up at one of the country’s top mortgage lenders


-----


About Rate: We’re one of the largest retail mortgage lenders in the nation — known for cutting-edge technology, a people-first culture, and a commitment to helping loan officers build exceptional businesses. We’re growing fast, and we’re building the infrastructure to do it right.
