How the Process Works

First, you have to contact us.
We will then go through some questions about your business, background and goals and we will develop a profile for prospective companies.

Our nationwide firm is in touch daily with firms in the area you desire and we are familiar with their needs and the opportunities they may offer you. The changes in our industry make it difficult for anyone not involved in the placement business to keep track of the evolving transformation of the financial services industry. Takeovers, consolidations, new offices and office closings are regular occurrences in our business.

Next we come up with a list of firms for your
consideration.
We’ll go through the pros and cons of each choice and when you agree, we will contact each firm to see their interest and set up a phone interview. A face to face meeting with the firm is usually next. During the interview process, we keep in regular contact with the firm and give you any feedback we receive.

If you have compliance, bankruptcy or other personal issues, we can offer advice on how best to present and hopefully overcome the problem. Banks tend to be the most difficult when dealing with these issues and the proper explanation can mean the difference between an offer or a rejection.

Completing the deal
We have over 25 years experience negotiating firm-broker contracts and can be of value to you in this final stage. Very rarely are offers a take it or leave it proposition. There normally is some room for negotiation and we will offer our experienced opinion to you.

Making the move
A successful move, of course, assumes that you plan and execute the transition process successfully. It is important to avoid mistakes that can be painful, costly and damaging to reputations and relationships. We guide you step by step through our proven 12-step process for a successful transfer to your new firm. Our process will ease your transfer and help you avoid costly mistakes.

As you can see, throughout the entire process you benefit from our advice and guidance. We help you leverage our years of experience and industry knowledge for your benefit.

All fees are paid by the hiring firm
What is your fee when we successfully place you? NOTHING. All fees are paid by the hiring firm and do not impact or affect the terms of your transition package.
