Why Virtual Team

Five reasons clients stay past the first hire

Dedicated

One resource, only yours

No shared queue, no rotating cast. Your dedicated resource works exclusively for you and stays.

Leadership

25 years of Australian market experience

Founder Rohit Sahdev's 25 years in the Australian market, including senior leadership at Telstra, shape how every dedicated team is managed.

Transparent

You always know what your team is doing

Every dedicated resource works behind Screenshot Monitor — auditable activity and reporting, not a black box.

Flexible

No more "That's not my job."

Your dedicated outsourced resource adapts to what your business needs, takes ownership and grows their career by stepping up to new challenges.

Built for now

Capacity without the hiring squeeze

Skilled and reliable operational talent is harder to hire locally right now. A dedicated resource adds capacity without adding to that pressure.

The outcome this role is built for

Faster file progression to "submission-ready" — because someone is actively chasing documents instead of waiting for clients to send them unprompted.

Role scope

What this role owns day to day

Core responsibilities

  • Manage broker diaries and client file preparation
  • Chase outstanding documents from clients on a defined schedule
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date aggregator CRM records
  • Prepare application packs ready for broker review and submission

Flexibility

Works your hours. Picks up the work.

Australian business hours

Aligned to your primary time zone and holiday calendar for day-to-day coverage.

9am–5pm style coverage, matched to your roster

Extended coverage

Stretch shift start/end times around settlement deadlines and month-end peaks.

Early-start or late-finish shifts, by agreement

Peak-season scaling

Additional dedicated resources during EOFY and peak refinance periods.

Scale up seats for seasonal volume, scale back down after

What "no that's not my job" looks like in practice: a client is slow to respond and the request doesn't fit a standard reminder template — it still gets a personal follow-up instead of sitting in the queue.

What stays with your authorised staff

Works to documented procedures; approvals, payments, regulated decisions and physical/site work remain with authorised local personnel.

Not exclusive to mortgage broking

The same skillset, in industries with their own paperwork-heavy pipeline

Strip away the lender-specific tools and this role is a recognisable shape: gather documents, verify them against a checklist, and move a case through defined stages against a deadline.

Common today

Doing this in-house with stretched staff, or paying a third party

  • Document chasing competes with other priorities
  • Files sit incomplete longer than they should
  • Brokers do their own admin instead of advising
The alternative

A dedicated broker support officer, outsourced to us

  • One resource whose only job is your file pipeline
  • Reports to your own broker or office manager, not a third party
  • Same Screenshot Monitor transparency, direct to you
