(Richmond, VA) August 14, 2015 – Jon Burkhart and the Commercial Banking Team of The Richmond Group USA (TRG) are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of a Senior Business Banker search for a successful and established Los Angeles-based regional bank.
Our client-company had been looking for a senior business banker in the Los Angeles marketplace unsuccessfully for several months prior to engaging us. They needed someone who had an extensive network of COI’s throughout the central and eastern Los Angeles marketplace, knew how to underwrite loans, and could quickly bring in new relationships to the bank without much of a ramping-up period.
Due to the specific qualifications this role required, a comprehensive search was conducted to uncover and attract a pool of qualified candidates throughout the greater Los Angeles marketplace. Using our network of knowledgeable COI’s familiar with the area, we were able to identify, qualify and attract a high-performing lower middle-market lender who was extremely passive in his search for another opportunity, but was starting to become frustrated with his current bank’s cumbersome and overly-conservative lending process.
With this exciting opportunity, this new senior business banker now has the ability to hit the ground running with a bank that has the appetite and capacity for large C&I and CRE loans throughout Los Angeles . The bank now has a proven and high performing senior business banker who has already developed a pipeline of over 10MM in new loans and relationships that is set to close between now and the end 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?
