Our need of the hour was to grow the scale of our existing asset book by 25% each year over the next 5 years. In this regard, we needed to find a senior leadership recruitment partner with the capability to map the entire market of relevant candidates for key roles in credit, risk and sales and to attract candidates who would be difficult for us to hire directly. Ray & Berndtson proved to be that partner and their hires have made a telling impact on the growth of our operations.
