Why Use a Retained Search Over a Contingency Search?

In today’s financial institutions, change is constant and the goals are as varied as the players.  As financial institutions offer an even wider range of products and services, they demand executives who are on the cutting edge of emerging trends.  Our team of Financial Services Consultants have the industry expertise, market contacts, customer knowledge, and creditability to identify and evaluate leaders in the Financial Services Industry who achieve superior results.  A retained search will help expedite your search in identifying and evaluating leaders in the banking industry who achieve superior results.

Why Use a Retained Search?

• We commit to the search. By working with WBA exclusively, the first thing we’re going to do is prioritize your search until completed.

• Your search is top priority; all contingency searches are put on hold until your position is filled.

• You receive a more thorough search of the entire marketplace than if you place the search with several search firms.

• It is more professional for everyone. Not only the search firm and the candidate, but most importantly YOU. Your company will only be represented one way, which will eliminate any potential confusion in the candidate’s eyes.

• It elevates your search in a candidate’s eyes when they know that one firm has been selected as the firm representing your company exclusively.

• Wells, Bradley & Associates does all the screening of qualified candidates and only presents the top 3-5 candidates.  (The hiring authority will never have to wade through 20+ resumes nor ever see resumes from candidates who are not qualified for the job.)

• You get to work one-on-one with one of the top executive recruiters in the country.  We pride ourselves on the level of service that we extend to our clients.  We also have an excellent reputation throughout the industry, which is imperative to attracting top candidates for our clients.

• Our clients have found it refreshing that we go beyond our “contacts” and conduct fresh research and source new candidates for each search.

• They also enjoy the fact that our retained search fee schedule is a flat fee.  We don’t charge for telephone, administrative, and research costs.  We charge a standard industry fee and only the first third is non-refundable.  We ask our retained clients for a commitment up front, but the rest of our fee is based on performance alone.

We are an enthusiastic and quality-minded team of search specialists.  By leveraging our knowledge, networks, information system, and energy to the fullest extent possible, we get results:  Superior candidates who, when hired, will have an immediate impact on your company today and who will become invaluable to your future
