A long-standing client, a growing bank in Florida, reached out to us to fill a newly created role. With plans to expand headcount by 200 over the next two years, they needed a strong leader to support their vision. Thanks to our established relationship with their HR recruiter, who we’ve known for years, the search process was seamless from the start.
With an existing 25% fee contract in place, negotiations were straightforward, and the client was fully aligned on the value we bring to the table. The hybrid nature of the role presented no challenges, allowing us to focus entirely on finding the right fit.
Leveraging LinkedIn Recruiter for up-to-date insights and targeted sourcing, we quickly identified a top-tier candidate. Given the client’s urgency, we presented only one candidate—someone we knew could deliver immediate impact. The candidate underwent three rounds of interviews, culminating in a dinner with the hiring manager, reinforcing cultural alignment.
The final offer included an increase from a $100K base salary to $120K plus bonus, aligning with the candidate’s expectations and market value. With no obstacles or delays, the entire hiring process progressed smoothly, resulting in a successful placement that met both the client’s and candidate’s needs.
