Our Services
Retained Search
Recruitment is an investment, not a process.
Traditional retained search agreements typically require one third of a fee up-front, one third on presentation of a shortlist and the final third on acceptance of the selected candidate. This passess the majority of the risk of the recruitment process onto the customer. We believe in a different approach where we share the risk.
Wright & Peel take a nominal commitment fee from our customer - usually 20% of the projected fee, with the balance only due when the search is completed and the selected person is in their new role. Knowing you are committed to the search allows us to fully commit until the search is complete.
Working with banks across the US and successfully building leadership teams, divisions and new lending areas requires more than just identifying someone with the right skill set. We understand how vital it is to carefully align the aspirations and goals of the candidate with those of the bank and, with true commitment from our clients, we are able to spend as much time with our candidates as is necessary to understand this.
New Division Setup
So frequently the institutions we work with would like to add an additional income stream that comes with a new line of business but don't know where to start.
At Wright & Peel Executive Search we have a track record of helping banks successfully build new lines of business by identifying leaders who are ready to take the next step in their career and build a division from scratch.
Part of our process is the identification of individuals who have the ambition and the ability to integrate a new line of business into an already functioning bank - not just providing a business plan, but being able to translate ideas into actions and ultimately, revenue.
We identify these people every day across all geographies we cover and so, should an institution be looking to grow with additional line of business, we can leverage our network effectively.
Contact us to learn more about how we can help you to build a division or geographical market from scratch.
Team Moves / Lift Out
A unique service we have been asked to provide is complementary to building a new division from scratch - a 'team lift'.
One solution for a bank that is looking to grow quickly and has a strong balance sheet to leverage is to move an entire team, usually with a leader, a production unit and a middle/back office support function.
Whilst this has an increased upfront cost element to it, the ultimate return on investment and profit generation is achieved much more quickly than building a team around a single leader, organically.
Depending on the size of the team move we can work with you to make sure we add as little cost to your initial investment as possible.
