Why Adviser Recruitment Is No Longer Just A Recruitment Problem
For many years, adviser recruitment was treated as a search exercise. A firm needed an adviser, a recruiter was briefed and the market was approached.
That model is now under pressure.
The best advisers are often settled, successful and approached frequently. If a firm wants to attract them, it needs more than a vacancy. It needs a proposition that is visible, credible and clearly understood.
That is why recruitment and employer branding are becoming increasingly connected. The firms that win talent are often the firms that have done the work before the search begins.
