Jon Burkhart & TRG Commercial Banking Complete Successful Search

(Richmond, VA) January 7, 2015 –  Jon Burkhart and the Commercial Banking Team of The Richmond Group USA (TRG) are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of Senior Commercial Real Estate Lending Team search in Houston, TX for a well-known and established Texas-based community bank.

Our best client-company reached out to us in the fourth quarter of 2014 to help them find two Senior Commercial Real Estate Lenders as they move into the Houston marketplace.  Because they use TRG exclusively, they reached out to us as soon as they knew they wanted to move into the market.  They needed a team of two very seasoned lenders with an extensive commercial real estate background.  It was also imperative that the lenders have strong 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 Houston and its surrounding suburbs and communities.  Because of our deep, already-existing relationships in Houston, we were able to identify, qualify and attract the right candidates in a matter of weeks. 

With this new exciting opportunity, the senior commercial lenders have the ability to take control of a new market for the bank, using the bank’s full suite of lending capabilities to allow them to become a major player in Houston.  The bank now has two senior commercial lenders with sizeable relationships, a vast network of contacts in Houston, and a significant pipeline to help provide a strong start to 2015.

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