Banking Recruiters
Lenders, credit analysts, treasury management and the people who keep a bank running.
Recruiting for lending, credit and bank operations.
We recruit the people who make a bank run: the lenders who bring in and manage relationships, the analysts who make sure each credit holds up, and the specialists in treasury, servicing and finance who keep the work moving behind them.
Most of our banking searches are in Wisconsin and the wider Midwest, and we also work with banks nationwide. Some of these seats are front-line and relationship-driven; others are corporate banking roles that call for highly specialized people. Either way, the search is built around the role you actually have, not a generic job description.
Banking roles we recruit for.
Commercial lenders
Building and managing their own loan portfolio, and presenting larger credits to loan committee and the board.
Mortgage lenders
Residential first mortgages, home equity loans and lines, with working relationships with local realtors and builders.
Credit analysts
Working beside loan officers on client calls and preparing the credit write-ups that decisions rest on.
Treasury management sales officers
Growing fee income and cross-selling treasury products to commercial clients.
Loan servicing managers
Running servicing from disbursement through payoff, and the team that does it.
Bank accounting specialists
Finance-department roles inside the bank, from reconciliations to reporting.
Who we recruit for.
Commercial and retail banks of different sizes, from banks with a handful of branches to larger institutions with a dedicated corporate banking group. What they share is a need for people who can be trusted with credit and client relationships from the first month.
What we look at before you meet anyone.
- Credit judgement: how they structure, document and defend a loan.
- Book quality and history, not only volume.
- Fit with your bank's market, customers and lending appetite.
- Why they would move, and whether the move makes sense for them.
