The wealth management business is being disrupted. If Robo advisors have been able to attract digital natives then a technology based approach to the arcane recruiting business deserves a look. I have seen the digital power of LinkedIn work for sourcing support roles. I'm intrigued and a little threatened to see how it works for advisory roles.

If I had a dollar for every time someone claims they have a new way to recruit I'd probably be retired by now. You are not going to recruit someone just by creating a fancy little mobile application or sending them texts and emails. You are ALWAYS going to have to talk to people, and as hopeful as LPL is that Mr. Posner is going to revolutionize recruiting, I think they'd better not let go of their internal recruiting staff (if they can somehow stem the flow of those people going out the door).
