01
We know a portable book
Not every book of business moves. We assess how many relationships will really follow a banker before we present them.
02
We know the market's pay
Base, incentive and deferred structures vary by bank size. We tell you where your offer stands before a candidate does.
03
We recruit the whole team
Producers need credit and operations behind them. We recruit across all three layers of a commercial team.
04
We reach passive bankers
The best relationship managers aren't on job boards. Most of the bankers we present are people we already know.

Frequently asked.
Do you recruit for both corporate and middle market banking?
Yes. We recruit corporate bankers, middle market and business banking relationship managers, and the credit and operations teams that support them.
How do you assess whether a banker's book will follow them?
We look at tenure with key clients, how relationships were sourced, non-solicit terms, and references before we present anyone as a producer with a portable book.
Can you help us enter a new market?
Yes. We can recruit a market leader first, then build out bankers, credit and support around them.
Do you work retained or contingency?
Both. We recommend the structure that fits the seniority, urgency and confidentiality of each search.
