Client Testimonials

President - Community Bank

I am writing to personally thank you for your assistance with the recent hire of our Bank's new Credit Analyst. 

We had been looking for a qualified candidate to fill the position for the past year without any success in finding the right person. There was some hesitancy on our part to engage an "outside service" mostly because we have never used one in the past.

I am glad we changed directions and decided to use The Newburgh Group. Your firm and Brandon Cooper specifically, were very helpful in finding the right person. Without your help, I am pretty sure we would still be searching to fill this important position. 

Thanks again for all your help.

President and CEO - Community Bank

In our search for a Chief Credit Officer, The Newburgh Group took the time to really assess the needs for an organization our size. They were able to provide high quality candidates immediately which allowed us to avoid the added time and expense of recruiting on our own. Becky Popenoe is very professional in her approach to finding what we were looking for. We are very pleased with our new hire.

Thank you!

President and CEO

Owner-Construction Company

I was searching for a new controller for my construction company. Despite looking and spreading the word, I was unsuccessful in filling the position. Brandon Cooper contacted me regarding a lot he had purchased, and during our conversation, he mentioned his profession. I asked if he could assist in finding a candidate for the role. Brandon provided me with at least four applicants to interview. One of them turned out to be a great fit for our company. Throughout the process, Brandon maintained close communication and thoroughly reviewed the resumes, sending only those he believed were the best match. We were very satisfied with his efforts!

Regional Banking President

Becky sourced several candidates, all well-aligned with the role/responsibilities. She did an amazing job with interview scheduling and even better at post-interview debriefs. She also provided relevant and timely offer/comp insights on our chosen candidate. Becky’s pace and cadence were Excellent. Becky provided great value to our firm. She has my trust.

President - Community Bank

Working in a small market and finding the right employee today can be very challenging. The Newburgh Group met that challenge head-on finding us not one but three qualified candidates to interview. Our Account Executive David Shreve worked to make sure his recommendations were beneficial to both the bank and our future employee. I will be using the Newburgh Group again when we are looking for the right candidate to add to our team.

Thank you,

President/CEO - Community Bank

Human Resources Director - Large Regional Bank

When we began our search for a compensation professional, we reached out to several search firms given the tight labor market, etc. Becky and Brandon with The Newburgh Group immediately requested a call to understand what we were looking for. They were deliberate and persistent in finding the most qualified candidate for our role. They were one of the only firms that were able to find us candidates and continued to stay in touch each week even if they didn’t have a candidate to present! Working with The Newburgh Group was an excellent experience, they were professional, persistent, creative, honest and willing to work hard on our behalf!
