Raymond James unveils Talent Sourcing services, empowering business growth for independent advisors
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James has expanded its suite of business solutions available to independent financial advisors with the launch of Talent Sourcing. The in-house recruiting service provides dedicated, customized support to streamline the recruitment process for advisors as they hire talent and grow their businesses, according to Shannon Reid, president of the Independent Contractor Division.
Through Talent Sourcing, an experienced talent acquisition specialist provides in-depth labor market consultation to recommend a strategic approach and opportunities to source talent for roles ranging from specialized and non-production associates to entry-level advisors. For each position, advisors are presented with a slate of highly qualified professionals sourced via thorough candidate outreach, screening and interviews to meet their business needs.
“One of the biggest challenges faced by successful advisor teams is balancing the priorities that continue to fuel their organic growth with the support required to deliver and expand on the services that their clients enjoy. Talent Sourcing is designed to help create capacity for both, freeing independent advisors to continue running their business while a trusted recruitment partner who is dedicated to Raymond James and their unique practice helps find the right fit for their team,” said Reid.
Talent Sourcing is the latest addition to the Raymond James suite of business solutions offerings available to independent branches, including the recently launched Paraplanning Services. Raymond James Financial Services consistently delivers powerful resources and innovative services to help advisors build and enhance their practices.
