(Richmond, VA) December 1, 2014 – Jon Burkhart and the Commercial Banking Team of The Richmond Group USA (TRG) are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of a Senior Commercial Lender search in Sioux Falls, SD for a well-known and established Midwestern community bank.
Our client-company reached out to us earlier this year in an effort to find a strong lender to help them grow their Sioux Falls market presence. They had been looking unsuccessfully for nearly a year for a very seasoned lender with an extensive commercial real estate and ag background. It was also imperative that the lender be adept in both credit and business development skills.
Due to the specific qualifications this role required, a comprehensive search was conducted to uncover and attract a pool of qualified candidates in Sioux Falls and its surrounding suburbs and communities. Because of our deep, already-existing relationships in South Dakota, we were able to identify, qualify and attract the right candidate in a matter of days.
With this new exciting opportunity, the senior commercial lender has retained the ability to write sizeable loans and has gained more autonomy and loan authority with a bank that is much smaller and has a very quick turnaround time. The bank now has a senior commercial lender with a sizeable portfolio, a vast network of contacts in Sioux Falls, and a significant pipeline to help provide a strong finish to their fourth quarter.
As your business continues to grow, so does your need for talented individuals. What are you doing today to secure the future talent needs?
