For Banking Leaders

An introduction to Talnted.

Precision banker hiring. Built for how producers actually sell.

The Hire That Didn’t Deliver

Every bank has the story.

The producer hire with the marquee book — that didn’t follow. The lender whose production never ramped. The wealth advisor whose cross-sell never came. Here’s the math.

What you pay

Sunk before production catches up

Comp + 12-month guarantee Paid in full — whether or not the book follows. $200k

$200k+ committed before a single loan books.

What you don’t get

A wrong hire vs. a top producer

Top producer Poor producer Annual loss

Loan production C&I, term, owner-occupied CRE $15M $5M $10M

Deposit growth Checking, MMDA, escrow $8M $3M $5M

Cross-sell, fee income Treasury, FX, swap fees, wealth referrals $200k $50k $150k

Net loss to the bank ~ $1.5M in annual revenue — every year the wrong hire stays in seat.

What resumes and interviews can’t show you…

Book composition — concentration, churn, durability behind the topline number.
What actually follows when they move — vs. what was promised.
Cross-sell instinct — operating account, treasury, wealth referral. Or just the loan.
Whether their production engine travels — the COI network, the referral sources, the branch traffic. Most don’t.
Whether they’re built for your client size — not the size they last sold.

You hire what you see. What you can’t see is what costs you.

Our Methodology

Discover. Define. Deliver.

A repeatable three-step process — designed to give you the visibility you need before you make the offer.

01

Discover

Discovery Meeting

What does success look like at your bank?

A 60-minute meeting to define the role beyond the job spec — book composition, cross-sell instinct, client-size fit, sales economics. The success profile for your bank, not a generic role.

02

Define

Profile Review Meeting

Who fits the lane — and why?

We walk each candidate’s Producer Profile side-by-side against your success criteria — defining the recruiting lane as we go. Hire with data, not hope.

03

Deliver

Your Next Hire

How does the right hire get made?

A real-time portal — pipeline at a glance, Yes / No decisions, comments — built to deliver your next hire, not just run a search.

Two meetings, no charge — a Discovery Meeting and a Profile Review. We align on the success profile and the recruiting lane together. From there, we send the engagement letter and start sourcing.
