I wanted to follow up to say “thank you” for finding Magda!  What a great fit she is and so much creativity on top of her extensive knowledge of the HR field.  It’s only been a little over a week but I already see such a difference in the department.  Her approach and style is so genuine, the perfect fit for Lake Trust!    

One of our core values at Lake Trust is “Make a difference” and Magda will do just that! 

It was a pleasure working with you Mark Angott  and possibly we’ll work together in the future.  Again, many thanks!

Michigan First Credit Union has been working with Angott Search Firm since November 2008.  We began our relationship with Angott to help place a Vice President of Lending and a Vice President of Marketing.  The Angott group came highly referred to us for their knowledge, understanding and wide-spread network within the Credit Union and banking space.  I worked closely with Brian Rhonemus and Michigan First has successfully filled both of our Vice President roles with strong candidates.   Despite our very specific needs in terms of candidate experience and background, Angott was able to bring a large and diverse pool of candidates to the table.   Brian and his team are responsive, move quickly, and are diligent and determined to meet the needs of your organization.  They are truly a business partner and not just a group of recruiters that fill positions.”

“It is very rare that a consultant builds a relationship to the point that they are a true partner. And that is exactly what Tom Blackwell and Angott Search Group has done with me and Peoples National Bank. I am amazed at his knowledge and insight into banking and especially his ability to understand how bankers think and make decisions. Tom’s caring and thorough approach is refreshing and his ability to maneuver through the different personalities and agendas within the top of the bank to establish the must haves of the desired candidate is unequaled.”

“Tom Blackwell has been a true business partner to me and Peoples and his desire to help move our business forward, sometimes without personal gain, is why he and Angott Search Group are the only search group we will use. Tom has had a tireless dedication to Peoples as a client and has fulfilled every search for which we have utilized his firm. It is a privilege to call Tom a partner and friend.”
