The workforce expansion will enable Lendio to meet the unprecedented demand for small business capital caused by COVID-19’s economic disruption

Lehi, Utah, Dec. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lendio, the nation’s leading small business solutions provider, today announced plans to hire 500 employees by the end of January 2021. Lendio will hire 190 full-time temporary-to-hire employees by January 7, 2021, with help from PrincePerelson, Utah’s premier recruiting firm. Positions are available in the Salt Lake City, Utah, and Long Island, New York, regions.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lendio has helped facilitate over 100,000 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan approvals for small business owners.

Throughout the nation, economic crisis-driven layoffs have reached unprecedented levels. Amid the job losses and layoffs, many workers find themselves seeking temporary or new positions. Lendio’s temporary-to-hire positions are suited for those interested in temporary opportunities, expected to last into the spring of 2021.

The majority of new hires will be working remotely as the company continues to respect and operate under CDC and health experts’ guidelines and will transition to Lendio’s headquarters in Lehi, Utah, or its office in Woodbury, New York, when deemed safe to return to the workplace.
