The Travillian Group Banks and Credit Unions practice specializes in the placement of C-level executives, along with other financial, accounting and credit professionals, with a special emphasis on community and regional banks and credit unions.
As the banking industry continues to transform due to technological disruptors and tighter regulations, the need for excellent, proficient talent has never been greater. Our practice is led by Brian Love, who has over 10 years of experience in relevant roles within the industry, and supported by veteran recruiter Adam Yancoskie. Incorporating their experience and drawing from the relationship base of all seven of the firm's Specialty Areas (see chart below), Travillian is able to provide an unrivaled pool of candidates at financial services companies nationwide. This sets us apart, but our ability to match skilled candidates with company cultures to build long-term value is where we exceed expectations. |

We recently had an unexpected resignation by our Chief Credit Officer and immediately commenced our search for a successor using our normal networking and media advertising. Due to the critical nature of the position, we needed to fill it quickly with a highly qualified candidate. We hired Brian Love from The Travillian Group to assist us with our search. Brian, through his extensive network, quickly provided several highly qualified, passive candidates which resulted in us promptly filling the position with a terrific individual and culture fit.

My experience working with Brian and the team from Travillian was outstanding.
Brian was very transparent, and did an excellent job of communicating with me throughout the process.
While I understand that I’m the “product” in the placement process, I certainly didn’t feel like a commodity.
That is getting more rare when dealing with recruiters.

The Travillian Group has dedicated resources to help community banks fill their talent needs. Literally the day before we announced the sale of our company, Brian Love called me with a CFO opportunity. I needed time to process my next move and Brian was very patient with me, as well as throughout the entire engagement. He treated me as though I was the client. I ended up accepting his out-of-state opportunity...and I couldn't be happier with the decision and fit. I will always look to Brian as a trusted advisor.

After researching our recruiting options, The Travillian Group came to the top and we have been quite satisfied with their work and their placements. One such placement was our Chief Credit Executive and the other a Senior Credit Analyst. Given the distinct differences in these positions, Brian Love of Travillian used his contacts and knowledge of the industry and matched our needs to some very qualified candidates. The details brought forward on the candidates made the interviews productive and the quality of the finalists made the choices clear and rapid.
We will use Travillian again.

This was my first time engaging the Travillian Group and I was very pleased with the overall experience.
Brian Love was a reliable professional and a result-oriented partner that kept open communication from the day of introductions all the way through the on-boarding process of our hired candidate. I have had some experiences with recruitment agencies in the past but I feel Brian was truly unique, as his prior experience in banking helped him understand and meet our needs. I most definitely recommend The Travillian Group to organizations that may be looking to hire a recruiter.

Working with Brian was simple, entertaining and extremely productive. Brian listened attentively and patiently. He sold the Bank highlighting our “unconventional” culture and didn’t waste my time with unsuitable candidates and ultimately unearthed our “unicorn.” Brian delivered, and he did so in less than 3 months. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the process, but the end result exceeded expectations.
