Strategic Hiring for Financial Advisors with Jon Duncan (Ep. 30)

This episode is tailored for financial advisors seeking to build their team with the right sub reps. The biggest mistake? Relying solely on personality when hiring, rather than digging into long-term goals, knowledge and cultural compatibility. 

Joining us today is Jonathon Duncan, Co-Founder and President at Advisor Seekers, who reveals the key mistakes advisors make when recruiting, highlighting the importance of self-evaluation and understanding both your own value proposition and the qualities you truly need in a sub rep. 

Jon focuses on helping advisors identify their firm’s unique value proposition. By grasping what distinguishes their business, advisors can adeptly convey this to potential hires, attracting sub reps whose goals align with the firm’s mission. The overarching message of the episode is a call for clarity in the hiring process — encouraging advisors to figure out precisely what they are looking for, know where they are headed, and, most importantly, not compromise on their criteria. 

In this episode, you’ll learn key concepts on: 

  • Showcasing your firm’s unique value proposition
  • Pinpointing your firm’s specific needs
  • Prioritizing fit over mere charisma in the hiring process
  • And more!
