Banking Executive Search

I’ve worked with Tom for almost 20 years and this should say enough by the sheer point on length of time working together. Many provide this service and the field of competition is fierce, so it’s nice to know that every time you work with Tom you are getting his best effort and the best candidates. The relationships he develops with his clients are amazing. He knows me, and my preferences for our company and doesn’t waste my time trying to make a square peg fit. He brings the A team.

I had the pleasure of working with Charlie Tudor very recently. He was absolutely amazing and helped me transition to the next phase of my career with my current company! I can’t tell or praise enough Charlie’s patience, guidance, or consistency in the work he provides. I was in a rough spot after a recent severance was offered to me by a former employer and Charlie quickly aligned my talents and experiences to an organization that was searching for an individual with my experiences. He also remained very diligent by following up with me throughout the entire hiring process. Charlie is extremely professional, consistent, diligent, and efficient as he takes personal pride in assisting his clients. I can say this candidly, as he’d never met me prior to our interaction. Charlie, again thank you so much! I’d recommend Charlie Tudor to anyone who is searching or needs a good recruiter!

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.

Charlie helped me secure a position during the period of late 2012 and early 2013. It has been a fulfilling journey working at this establishment, and I appreciate the efforts he made to enable me to finish my career with such professional distinction.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked at this institution, and it has been a pleasure to retire with professional dignity. 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.

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.

Megan Uphoff has filled a number of critical roles within our organization over the past year. She demonstrated thoroughness throughout the process, taking the time to understand our organization and our culture. Once armed with this information, she was able to capitalize on her vast network of candidates to provide qualified individuals in short order. As Megan delivered candidates, she did a very nice job of staying in contact using her straightforward communication style.

Working with Tom Blackwell was a professional experience.

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.

Our firm recently partnered with Lexi Harty at Angott Search Group to successfully fill a Client Service Associate position. In terms of candidate quality, the experience we had with Lexi in comparison to previous recruiting firms was night and day. I myself as a similarly busy person, can attest to Lexi’s responsiveness and timeliness.

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.

I would recommend Megan and her team for any bankers looking for a brighter future.
