Jon Burkhart & TRG Commercial Banking Complete Successful Search

(Richmond, VA) April 30, 2015 –  Jon Burkhart and the Commercial Banking Team of The Richmond Group USA (TRG) are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of a Regional Treasury Sales Manager search in Savannah, GA for a well-known and established Georgia-based regional bank.

One of our best client-companies reached out to us in the beginning of the first quarter with an opportunity that was proving to be a challenge for our client.  They had been working through their own efforts and with local recruiters for over five months, but were unable to find the right candidate for their position.  They needed someone familiar with the Savannah, GA market who could immediately begin bringing in new relationships, all while managing a team of sales officers and running the market strategy for the region.

Due to the specific qualifications this role required, a comprehensive search was conducted to uncover and attract a pool of qualified candidates in Savannah and its surrounding suburbs and communities.  Because of our deep, already-existing relationships in GA, we were able to identify, qualify and attract the right candidate within two weeks.  Because the candidate was a high-profile and well-respected individual within the Savannah banking marketplace, this was an individual who rarely took calls from recruiting firms and had not been called on for this role.

With this new exciting opportunity, the Regional Treasury Sales Manager has the ability to take control of a new market for the bank, using the bank’s full suite of treasury and lending capabilities to allow them to become a major player in Savannah.  The bank now has a regional manager with sizeable relationships, a vast network of contacts in Savannah, and a significant pipeline to help provide a strong start to the second half of the year.

As your business continues to grow, so does your need for talented individuals. What are you doing today to secure the future talent needs?
