Recruiting is seasonal and cyclical.Deal structure and firm's brand win the day. Since deal structures and firm strategies and leadership change often. Advisors require a unbiased guide. Unfortunately there are not and fiduciaries in the mix. Friends and other advisors can address this void. References can help.

I have argued for years that companies which choose to maintain internal recruiters are overpaying for those services, as employees cost much more than independent contractors (external recruiting firms). Seems like LPL may finally be recognizing the indisputable truth in that equation.
