Banking Executive Search

Nick Bell has been a loyal consultant in my professional and executive career. He has consistently maintained contact with me, discussing not only my career aspirations, but also my family’s well-being. Nick always demonstrates the care and consideration that define an exceptional executive recruiter and professional partner. He always remains thoughtful and supportive. My recent job placement is another example of how he keeps the credit union, the candidate, and the key players informed.  I am thankful that he entered my career years ago and has remained a dedicated professional.

I have worked with Mark Angott and his team for over 20 years. His commitment to understanding talent in the banking industry and identifying top candidates that will excel in our environment has been strong. The ASG team has provided searches for senior-level managers, technical positions, and general banking assignments. I will continue to look to the Angott Search Group for our professional searches.

Working with Tom Blackwell was a professional experience. His forensic interview with me proved tremendously beneficial in placing me with the right opportunity, at the right company, and at the right time!

As Megan delivered candidates, she did a very nice job of staying in contact using her straightforward communication style.

I would highly recommend trusting your career to Charlie Tudor and Angott Search Group.

I just can’t say enough about my experience when working with Megan Uphoff over the last several years. Those dealings have been both as a hiring manager looking for talent, but also as an individual looking for guidance and direction in the market. What stands out is Megan’s wealth of knowledge and experience. Those traits are evidenced in her grasp and understanding of roles, people, and the individual organizational cultures in the market. Couple all of that with Megan’s straightforward communication style when discussing candidates or opportunities yet thoughtful style when building rapport and there is no doubt why she and ASG excel as the premier executive search firm not to mention the first and only call you’ll need to make when arranging talent or looking for what’s next.

It’s rare to come across a recruiter that is as ridiculously efficient and yet genuinely thoughtful as Kortney South is. From every step of the process, she was one step ahead of the game and was always willing to go to bat for me to make sure I was happy with my new role! I can’t recommend and thank Kortney enough for everything she has done for me. She is truly a Gem!

It is very rare that a consultant builds a relationship to the point that they are a true partner. And that is exactly what Tom Blackwell and Angott Search Group have done with me and my former organization. I was amazed at his knowledge and insight into banking and especially his ability to understand how bankers think and make decisions. Tom’s caring and thorough approach are refreshing and his ability to maneuver through the different personalities and agendas within the top of the bank to establish the must-haves of the desired candidate is unequaled. Tom Blackwell is a true business partner and his desire to help move our business forward, sometimes without personal gain, is why he and Angott Search Group are the only search group we will use. Tom has had a tireless dedication to our firm as a client and has fulfilled every search for which we have utilized his firm.

As I retire in 2023, I am reminded of the positive impact Charlie’s assistance had not only on me but also on the bank. Thank you, Charlie, once again for all your efforts, and I wish you continued success in your endeavors.
