Client Testimonial
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!

President and CEO – Community Bank, Ohio
Brandon determined our needs and culture, worked to find the right candidate and confirmed the solution was correct. Clearly, he cares about finding a lasting solution for the bank as well as the candidate. I would certainly recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future.
President – Community Bank
When we started our search for a qualified candidate to assist me in our bank’s Credit Administration function, I contacted The Newburgh Group to find a seasoned credit person.
President and CEO – Regional Bank
The Newburgh Group recruited me for consideration and ultimately acceptance as a region president for a regional banking company. I subsequently engaged this firm to recruit key people for several critical positions that I needed filled. They diligently located and recruited quality staff for me. With former bankers included on its staff, this company was able to communicate in banking terms with potential candidates.

Mortgage Processor
After unexpectedly being laid off I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I got on LinkedIn to try and get some leads on a new job. I happened to see a request from an Account Executive at The Newburgh Group to connect. Normally I don’t, but I figured I had nothing to lose.
I spoke with the Account Executive, and he was able to send my resume to a client by the next morning. They had me a phone interview lined up within a few hours!. It was with a small community bank in their mortgage department. The Account Executive was very understanding of my anxiousness in wanting a new job.
I have been working with my new company for a month now and love it so much. If anyone has an opportunity to work with The Newburgh Group, I highly suggest it! They are very professional and helpful with finding the right professional fit for you.
Deposit Operations-Sr. Vice President
I had reached a point in my career where there really wasn’t any opportunity for upward mobility. While I really wasn’t looking for opportunities in a new city, I also knew that my skills were not being fully utilized, therefore I really wasn’t happy where I was. Out of the blue Brandon shared an opportunity with me that was EXACTLY what I was dreaming would open up with my current employer, it just happened to be 6 hours away. I skeptically agreed to interview thinking it probably wouldn’t go anywhere. To my great surprise and satisfaction, I ended up with a new job, in a new city, and it is everything I had dreamed of and more! Thank you to Brandon for reaching out and connecting me with this opportunity. So happy it came my way!
Compensation Manager-Regional Bank
I wanted to move back into the Banking Industry after many years away. I applied to a posting for the Newburgh Group and Becky walked me through the whole process. She emphasized that the role and culture of the bank should fit me before we ever discussed pay. The whole process from applying to the job to obtaining a job offer was seamless, with Becky providing valuable advice to help me through the process. This was the best experience I could have hoped for in a new job search. With help and guidance from the Newburgh Group I found my dream job with a great company.
Commercial Banker
From the first time that I spoke with The Newburgh Group I could tell that they were very detailed oriented, and they kept me in the loop from every step of the way. If I had to say anything, I would say that my Account Executive treated me as if I were his best friend (even family). I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new position.
Senior Vice President
The Account Executive with whom I worked was very knowledgeable, helped walk me through the process, and checked in with me throughout. By finding and contacting me, they made a match that ended up having a huge positive impact on my career and life. They also saved me what could have been a time-consuming and stressful job hunt. Dual-career situations, in which both partners are specialized, are hard to navigate. They helped turn what could have been a "trailing spouse" situation into an amazing opportunity for me. I could not be more excited about my new job.
Retail Director – Regional Bank
Brandon Cooper at The Newburgh Group recognized an opportunity that met my skills and experience and quickly reached out to me. Even though I was not searching for a new job, he sold me on at least giving it some consideration. He was extremely professional throughout the interview and hiring process by staying in constant communication and working diligently toward a compensation package that worked for me and my new employer. Within a matter of a few short weeks, I have a wonderful new job that was not only an advancement from my prior position but provides even more opportunities down the road to grow as a banker and a leader.
Senior Vice President – IT and Bank Operations
I would like to thank The Newburgh Group for placing me in my "dream" job. They contacted me about 18 months ago about a position near Louisville. Normally, I wouldn’t consider making a move from my hometown, but just the "right words" were said to make me listen. The job has been more than I had ever hoped for. My new position has given me so many new opportunities, use of my skills and the pleasure of meeting many new friends. I have been surrounded with very talented peers and a support system from my manager, the President & CEO, the members of my staff and the Board. This would never have been possible without the persistence and exceptional courtesies shown by The Newburgh Group. Thanks again!!
Commercial Loan Officer – Regional Bank
In my many years of banking, I have been in contact and worked with many recruiters. Most seem to be in it for themselves and the next paycheck; however, The Newburgh Group was focused on the fit and the needs of both the individual and the client. A big key to success is surrounding yourself with successful people and finding a position that fits with your personal path to success. The Newburgh Group took it upon themselves to find that fit without jeopardizing the future of either party. I am sure the employees at The Newburgh Group look forward to their paychecks; however, they focus more on the personal relationship rather than the dollar value of the sale.
