ABOUT IBDSEARCH
Meet Brad Fay
Founder of IBDSearch
Financial Services Recruiting Since 1990
The right opportunity is rarely obvious from a job description, payout grid or recruiting package.
For more than 35 years, Brad Fay has helped financial professionals and financial services firms look beyond the headline numbers and understand what really determines whether a relationship will work.
Direct. Personal. Confidential.
Recruiting is a relationship business.
MORE THAN A NAME BEHIND THE FIRM
Brad Fay founded IBDSearch in 1990 with a focus on one industry: financial services.
Over the decades, markets have changed, firms have merged, platforms have evolved and the choices available to financial professionals have become dramatically more complex.
One thing has remained constant.
People still need someone they trust when the decision matters.
Brad’s approach begins with questions rather than recommendations. He wants to understand where someone is today, what they are trying to accomplish, what is working, what is not and what they want the next chapter of their business or career to look like.
Only then does the search begin.
That philosophy applies equally to a financial advisor evaluating independence, a capital markets professional considering a new firm, a retiring advisor searching for the right successor, or a financial services organization looking for experienced talent.
THE IBDSEARCH DIFFERENCE
Brad doesn't begin by asking,
"Where can I place you?"
He begins by asking,
"Where are you trying to go?"
Because understanding the objective comes before recommending the opportunity.
A NOTE FROM BRAD
After more than three decades in financial services recruiting, I have learned that the best opportunity is not always the one with the biggest number attached to it.
It is the opportunity that fits.
My responsibility is to understand what you are trying to accomplish, give you the information you need to evaluate your options and tell you what I think, even when that means telling you an opportunity may not be right.
Whether you are considering a move, planning succession, looking for the right firm or searching for experienced talent, our first conversation is simply that: a conversation.
No pressure. No obligation. And no introduction without your knowledge.
