Banking and Finance Recruitment Partners

"I have known Danielle Ader for some time now and am currently partnering with her on a multiple person executive search. Danielle works hard to understand the current needs and culture of the bank to source the right candidate. Candidates are well-vetted and have a clear understanding of the position and its objectives. Moreover, Danielle offers her candid assessments of the candidate’s skills and desires to the hiring manager to ensure the alignment exists. It makes for an engaging and fluid hiring process."

"Adam and his team are Trusted Partners who take the time to understand where the bank is heading in the future and our need for scalable talent, but as importantly, who we are as an organization and our emphasis on culture -our Purpose and Values – and how critical this is to the recruiting and hiring process for the bank. Adam has done a great job identifying candidates that bring entrepreneurial and adaptive leadership, industry expertise and desire to be part of a Company that focuses on the growth of its Team Members as the company continues to build our Fintech, Banking as a Service, Gaming, SBA lending and other “blue ocean” opportunities”.

AJ Consultants LLC created a more disciplined and multi-faceted approach to the entire process of recruiting, vetting and ultimately hiring a CEO. The ability to constructively identify strengths and weaknesses of each candidate was a crucial element in the executive search that AJ Consultants seamlessly provided. Fully vetting each potential candidate can prove a lengthy process and AJ Consultants remained cognizant of this maintaining forthright and appropriate communication at all times; and providing engaging feedback throughout the interview process.

The assistance to both parties during discussions on compensation and benefit packages was done professionally and with well researched and documented support data specific to the market.

For these reasons and others our bank continues to rely on Adam as we grow our team and executive staffing .

"There is a reason AJ Consultants is the industry leader in Executive Searches and Recruiting. Adam and Danielle’s professionalism is the industry standard in how to approach the client and target employee(s). Their responsiveness and ability to successfully accomplish the assigned task(s) is consistent and on target each time. I have utilized and recommended AJ Consultants on numerous occasions and will continue to do so."

"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Danielle Ader on several occasions when I needed to call on an outside resource for recruiting efforts. She has been a responsive, insightful, and reliable business partner. When I need to call on outside resources for recruiting efforts, Danielle is top of mind."

“AJC has been very candid with me about our needs and their capacity to fill each role. What they say they can deliver is very direct, fair, and accurate. Their time in understanding the assignment drives reasonable expectations. My experience is that they spend a fair amount of time understanding our organization, culture, and specific needs. Many firms spend a good amount of time catering to what they think we need, but AJC allocates their time to understanding what we actually need. They understand that their reputation is entirely driven by their success and understanding of the unique needs of the role.”

“I have worked with a few recruitment professionals over my career and have found AJC to be the most thorough and professional of them all. AJC keeps the team updated on progress and does a full review of candidates to ensure the right fit. AJC will continue to be our go-to search professional, and I recommend them to all my peers.”

“From the start, AJC established the foundation for the partnership by investing heavily in understanding who we are. Their diligence extended far beyond understanding the position; they took the time to fully understand our culture and became fluent in the attributes that would make a C-level executive a great fit. The time they invested at the front end was apparent in the quality of the candidates they submitted.”

"AJC is best in class. They are dedicated not only to filling a role but also to ensuring that the candidate and the Bank are a good fit for each other. They do this by getting to know the candidate as well as they know the client. AJC never made me feel rushed when we spoke; they were professional, kind, and encouraging. I look forward to working with them for years to come—from the other side of the process.”

“After nearly two decades at the same institution, I was apprehensive about making a change. That was quickly washed away after speaking with AJC. The whole process was seamless from start to finish. Other recruiters contacted me, but I knew I had to work with AJC. They understood my wants and needs and were in my corner throughout. I will recommend all my colleagues, friends, and family AJC's way. AJC, thank you for making one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make pain-free!”
