Kortney and ASG were fantastic to work with! Kortney supported me through every step of the process and became a central line of support. She checked in on me often and maintained constant communication throughout the whole process, before and after each interview. Interviews can be stressful but Kortney talked me through each round and even sent material to ensure I was fully prepped. She advocated for me when I needed it and overall made the process of looking for a new employer easy!

– Candidate Experience

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.

– President & CEO of a $21 Billion Regional Bank

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.

– Candidate Experience

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. His forensic interview with me proved tremendously beneficial in placing me with the right opportunity, at the right company, and at the right time! Regardless of the many years of my work experience, this process taught me how important it is to have a professional, like Tom, use their invaluable experience and expertise to match my characteristics to a company in order to build a long-term career/relationship.

– Former President & CEO of a $1.1 Billion Kentucky Regional Bank

I have worked with Charlie Tudor for a number of years. He helped me obtain my position as Senior Lender, and I could not be happier. Charlie was a pro at walking me through the interview process and was always very accessible to answer questions. I could tell that he was just as concerned with my needs as he was for his client. I would highly recommend trusting your career to Charlie Tudor and Angott Search Group.

– Vice President & Senior Lender of a $150 Million Ohio Community Bank

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.

– Relationship Manager of a $150 Billion National Bank

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!

– Candidate Experience

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 had the pleasure of working with Megan Uphoff in my recent career move. She was responsive, helpful and provided advice throughout the process that empowered me to make the best decision for my career. She took a bigger picture, objective approach that was very refreshing considering past interactions with executive recruiters. I would recommend Megan and her team for any bankers looking for a brighter future.

– Vice President of Commercial Banking Relationships for a $20 Billion Michigan-Based Bank

I highly recommend Kortney South. She consistently exhibits professionalism and enthusiasm in business interactions. Kortney provides valuable insights and is very good at bringing the right people together to make progress to stated goals. Great follow-up, and a pleasure to work with!

– SVP, Loan Operations, $3.3 Billion Ohio bank

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.

– Candidate Experience

During my recruitment process, Kortney did a wonderful job. The process was complex coordinating across multiple entities and decision makers. Kortney communicated proactively, so I always knew what was going on while also receiving helpful guidance along the way.
