The Mid America Financial Group is currently searching for a Business Development Manager who will support the recruiting efforts of both experienced, in-demand financial advisor talent with successful practices, as well as inexperienced & new-to-industry advisor talent.  If you’ve recruited experienced or inexperienced financial advisors before, this role may be slightly different – you’ll be asked to build and execute a recruiting strategy in partnership with firm leadership that delivers on our growth and realized revenue objectives.  Ultimately, you will need to have the know-how to source, educate, and deliver high-performing talent to the firm, confirming for candidates that Prudential Advisors is the best place to grow or build their practice.

• Have a sales and marketing mindset to your recruiting activities: Through multiple channels and partnering with marketing, articulate our value proposition in a manner that convinces high-performing, passive financial advisor talent to join our firm.
• Turn insights into actions, and actions into great recruiting results. (Rinse and repeat): Acquiring advanced knowledge of local competitor firms and using that market intelligence to build a network of talent and robust pipelines within the assigned market.

What we’re looking for in a successful candidate:

• Minimum of 5+ years’ experience in the Financial Services industry with recruiting financial advisors with successful practices.
• College degree preferred or equivalent work experience.
• Familiarity with a “marketer’s mindset” - understands prospect online behaviors, selection methods and techniques such as using social media and other marketing channels for attraction.
