MSA is one of the few Executive Search firms dedicated solely to the national Mortgage Banking industry.  We have conducted searches in most major metropolitan areas across the United States, which has provided us with unlimited networking resources.   

Employers:  We are firm believers in “Value Added Recruiting”….it’s not enough to accept an assignment and submit resumes based solely on a Candidate meeting the requirements on paper.  There must also be a cultural fit between the Candidate and the hiring firm, as well as a clear cut Value Proposition in bringing the two together…MSA specializes in seeking out those candidates that every lender wants on their Team.  (See more on “Why MSA for Employers” on our Homepage) 

Candidates:  Many exceptional professionals have found themselves suddenly thrust into the job market due to the rapid changes taking place within our industry.  Some of them make well intentioned mistakes, such as posting their Resumes on every Job Board on the internet boasting experience within the “financial services” industry.  They subsequently find themselves spending the majority of their time fielding calls from personnel agencies or companies that try and steer them into interviews for positions they are either over qualified for or have no real interest in.  Our Team of professional Mortgage Banking Recruiters understands what is important to you in selecting a company to grow your career with.  (See more on “Why MSA for Candidates” on our Homepage) 

Acquisitions:  Many lenders have already discovered the “smart way” to expand their footprint in the industry.  Let’s face it, “start ups” are generally extremely time consuming, money guzzling propositions.  By the time you hire a Manager, who then must negotiate a lease, furnish the branch(es), hire Administrative Support and Sales staffs, coordinate equipment installation, etc, you can easily be looking at six to nine months of “down time” until you start to see a consistent pipeline and a momentum of loans closing every month.   

MSA has helped facilitate the expansion plans of many Clients by identifying and negotiating “team hires” or Company / Branch Acquisitions.  Often times this can be accomplished by virtually “changing the name on the door”.  Hiring a production team that already has synergy, a track record of success and a desire to affiliate with a proven lender committed to growth can be an extremely cost efficient method of expansion.
