Why use a recruiter?
By contacting a local manager directly you could lose considerable leverage when negotiating your transition package and level of support during and after the transition. After all, you called him or her. As recruiters with vast inside industry experience, MKA can help you maximize both the deal and the support you receive.
Additionally, MKA represents numerous prestigious firms. We can present your profile to them without using a name. That way your confidentiality is protected while you explore your options.
Will the deal I'm offered be reduced by using a recruiter?
Absolutely not. In fact, historically, when a quality recruiter is involved, the transition package is larger and can include items an advisor working alone may not know are available. The hiring firm pays any fees and understands the value an experienced recruiter brings to the process.
What do the current deals look like?
All deals are designed individually based on the profile of the candidate's practice. They typically include a front- and back-end bonus. Our relationships in the industry over the last 25 years allow us to know the current ranges of compensation and support packages at various firms. If you have specific questions, please feel free to call us in complete confidence.
Does Mark Kelly Associates work for a particular firm?
No, we are independent recruiters. This structure allows us to first understand your business needs and goals and then match them with a number of suitable firms for you to consider. The recent consolidation in the financial services industry has resulted in new models to service your clients in addition to the more traditional choices. Our mission is to find the right firm for you.
