York & Associates is an executive recruitment
and human resources consulting firm dedicated to helping employers
secure the best talent in the financial sector.
For nearly a quarter century, York & Associates has created
a successful enterprise working almost exclusively with Community
Banks and Credit Unions. We have watched career bankers over the
course of two decades and believe that Community Banking provides
an enriched quality of life. We are a business that has enjoyed
wide-spanned success due to people who believe in doing the right
thing. Our clients are typically financial institutions from the
de novo stage up to 10 billion dollars in assets. Our most common
placements are Presidents/Chief Credit Officers, Chief Risk, Chief
Financial Officers, and Senior Lenders
Our strategy for success…
Our commitment to you is to recruit the market’s best talent—a
responsibility we take very seriously. We have a very experienced
team locating & qualifying talent on a daily basis. We have
relationships with banks in over 300 markets nationwide. Our best
candidates do not come off of online job boards or want-ads, but
are the result of our extensive referral network.
Reasons to partner with York & Associates…
There are several reasons why York & Associates consistently
outperforms other recruitment firms:
• Banking is our only specialty and has been for over 25 years.
Local firms or agencies typically work on requisitions in various
industries. They do not have the reach, industry knowledge or caliber
of candidates that York & Associates maintains.
• We have access to bankers nationwide
• York & Associates follows the banking industry trends.
We have recruiters that have worked in your industry.
• York & Associates has over 80 years of combined experience
in the Executive Recruitment field.
How you will benefit from working with York & Associates …
For senior level searches, York & Associates offers both a contingency
and retained search approach. For the retained search, you would
be working directly with our President, Carrie York. This search
is much more consulting-oriented. We will fill your bank’s
vacancy by getting to know your bank’s needs and finding a
candidate with the exact skills you are looking for. In essence,
we are working for you. This is best suited for senior-level management
positions where there are fewer qualified candidates, and the challenge
is recruiting the talent from a competitor. You will find that at
York & Associates, we have an intimate understanding of executive
skill sets and the experience needed to meet your specified needs.
