Today's banking environment is complex, competitive, and ever changing. Banks that can consistently recruit the best people not only survive, but thrive in uncertain times. Consider the following as you contemplate engaging a search firm:
Expertise
Think about the amount of time it takes for your managers to surface, screen, interview, negotiate, and hire the best potential candidate. MR Dominion is a search firm that specializes in the banking industry with a proven process, resources, and the support of an international corporation as MR Dominion is an affiliate of the MRI Network. MR Dominion will search, screen, qualify, and present only those candidates who meet the predetermined requirements saving you and your bank substantial time and energy.
Passive Candidates
Much of the top talent in the market today is very happy with their current position. They simply are not spending the time looking for a new job - they are dedicating their time to performance. MR Dominion's forte is in sourcing the right candidate, not the most available candidate! There are no shortcuts. The only way to consistently hire the most talented people is to identify who the 'players' are and then approach each one of them. An effective search firm, like MR Dominion, will do this by making thousands of phone calls annually and connecting deep within a network that has been painstakingly built over the past ten plus years within the banking vertical.
Negotiation
Many times a hiring manager is left to guess what is motivating a candidate. A candidate tends to be much more candid and is more likely to tell our firm why they would consider making a career move. MR Dominion acts as a third party negotiator concentrating on bringing your bank and our top flight candidate to a mutually beneficial relationship (assuming that's the right thing for both parties). What's more, MR Dominion's reputation is reliant upon our firm's ability to clear red flags, ask tough questions, and mitigate risks to ensure both parties are making a good decision. The best candidates can be recruited and landed by the combined efforts of a solid search firm, a successful hiring manager, and following a well-defined process.
Industry Awareness
MR Dominion works all day, every day talking to hundreds of people nationwide. We know your competitors. We know who's successful and who is not. We know what it would take to recruit a key player from your competition, but most of all (as your Chief Retention Officer) we know how to help you keep your key players on your team.
Cast A Wider Net
Banks tend to advertise locally, therefore, usually attracting local talent. Advertising is not cheap and to advertise in multiple locations could be as costly as paying an experienced search firm. MR Dominion will stay local, if needed, or go out as far as necessary to find the best possible candidate.
We humbly suggest you ask yourself the following questions:
Are you an expert at finding, attracting, and hiring top talent within the accounting & finance vertical?
What does it cost your organization in terms of productivity, reputation, morale, etc. to have key positions vacant?
How much time and or money will your bank save by using a highly specialized firm like MR Dominion?
What does it truly cost you to self-perform this function?
We perform both Retained and Contingent Searches. Do you have anything to lose by working with MR Dominion on a Contingent basis?
