FOUNDER

Jeremy Anderson founded The Anderson Search Group after blazing a trail in the banking recruiting industry with a Grand Rapids, MI firm. He attributes his success to being laser focused in understanding what each individual customer needs and delivering customized solutions that meet their needs.  Jeremy believes no two clients or candidates are the same and should not be treated as such.

Anderson was a recipient of the MRI Pacesetter Award in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and qualified in 2011, consistently ranking among the top 10% of the 5,000 MRI recruiters.  He played an integral role in identifying and filling several key management positions with one of the fastest growing banks in the Midwest.

The Anderson Search Group has established relationships in all of Texas, Kansas City, MO, Denver, CO, Phoenix, AZ, Atlanta, GA, and Tampa and Orlando, FL.  The firm has successfully helped commercial banking groups establish LPO’s in Fort Worth, Denver, and Orlando.  The Anderson Search Group has also helped a super community bank establish a wealth management team in Dallas, TX.

Jeremy is a graduate of Central Michigan University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Advertising and Public Relations.  Jeremy, his wife, Sarah and their daughters Hudsyn Elizabeth and Finnlie Frances reside in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  He enjoys watching his daughters play basketball and golf for their middle school and high school teams, golfing, and spending time with his family and his goldendoodle, Blu.  He is a University of Michigan football season ticket holder.  Go Blue!

TESTIMONIALS

Jeremy is a highly capable and professional individual. I have worked with a myriad of recruiters over the course of the last two decades. Given that, I can say without prejudice that Jeremy’s representation of our institution via his involvement in the recruiting process has been best-in-class. In addition to being instrumental in helping us to recruit and hire a top-tier level of talent, Jeremy embodies a level of professionalism that is often lost in the recruiting process.

Client

Jeremy discussed my goals with me, both short and long term, to make sure that he understood what was important to me in a career position.

Candidate

Jeremy presented a number of qualified candidates for our consideration. The overall quality of such candidates tended to be far superior to those offered by other staffing professionals in similar, past situations. Jeremy was an excellent partner during all phases of the process.

Client

Jeremy displays the proper balance in his interactions with the bank. He is easy to work with and is very effective.

Client

One of the best professionals in this field I have worked with, he is great to work with. He was efficient and professional throughout this process. I am glad I had the opportunity to work with Jeremy.

Candidate

Jeremy assisted our Bank in recruiting some of the most talented bankers in the Dallas market. He has an executive database that is far above the rest. Jeremy’s professionalism and follow-through make him one of my go-to guys as we continue to grow our staff. Highly recommended!

Client

I would definitely recommend Jeremy and his team to others. He made the whole interviewing process so easy for me and continually kept me updated on what was going on the whole time, which can be very stressful when you are looking for a job change.

Candidate

Jeremy did an excellent job in taking the time to understand our bank and its particular needs and using that information to bring us quality candidates within our market. He did an excellent job in communicating with both our bank and the candidate throughout the search process. He kept the candidates motivated and informed throughout the process and maintained communication through and after hiring to ensure a smooth transition. I enjoyed working with Jeremy and was impressed with his knowledge of the market and ability to attract well qualified candidates. I look forward to continuing to work with Jeremy for future staffing needs of our bank.

Client

Jeremy presented me with an excellent opportunity and told me everything about the job and how my qualifications fit the job description. He never hid anything about the job and constantly made sure that I didn’t feel like he was pushing me into something I didn’t want.

Candidate

Jeremy had a very good understanding of what Fifth Third Bank was looking for. I think he knew before I did that we would be a great match.

Client

Jeremy always did what he said he was going to do. He is better than most recruiters I’ve worked with. I would work with Jeremy again. In fact, I already recommended Jeremy to a very talented financial professional.

Candidate

Jeremy demonstrated an excellent level of knowledge regarding the technical and interpersonal skills the bank was looking for in efforts to fill several community banking positions. He was by far the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with.

Client

Jeremy took the time to listen to me and what I wanted out of a new job. He never pushed me in to anything and always made sure that I wasn’t getting into something that was not right for me. Jeremy knew exactly what I wasn’t willing to budge on and never put me in a situation that involved something I did not want.

Candidate

Let me preface my comments by saying I owned and managed my own recruiting firm in the past. Jeremy is the best, most professional and honest recruiter I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Most recruiters only want a trade and could not care less about the fit between the recruit and the firm. Most recruiters feed you names on the one hand and try to recruit away your people with the other. This is not the way Jeremy does business. I have reason to believe that I can and will do substantially more business with Jeremy in the very near future.

Client

Jeremy demonstrated an excellent level of knowledge regarding the technical and interpersonal skills the bank was looking for in efforts to fill several community banking positions. He was by far the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with.

Candidate

Jeremy Anderson is recommended based on his professionalism, candor, and leave no stone unturned attitude. I came in contact with Jeremy in the spring of 2009, while conducting a career search. I was treated like a sports professional working toward a new contract. Jeremy worked his contacts, helped to uncover a need with a prospective employer and he presented me as a solution to that need. From day one to post employment follow-up, Jeremy proved to be an invaluable resource, career counselor and motivational coach.

Candidate

If it wasn’t for Jeremy’s help during the interview process, I really don’t think I would have gotten the job! Jeremy did an excellent job preparing me for the many interviews I went through. He was always willing to work with my schedule. He was interested in my feedback and seemed almost as excited as I was after my interviews. He was easy to talk to and get along with throughout the whole process.

Candidate

Jeremy found the position that I wanted most.

Candidate

Jeremy contacted me about an opportunity. He was amazingly service oriented with constant contact and support. In all my years of dealing with recruiters, Jeremy surpasses all. He was available, aiding both the company seeking an employee and me as someone interested in different pursuits.

Candidate

Jeremy was a pleasure to work with and I am grateful for all his help and support throughout the whole experience. I believe Jeremy had my best interest at heart and credit him for my new job.

Candidate

Jeremy did a very good job of interpreting who I was professionally and what I was looking for in a new position. His coaching was invaluable throughout the entire process from interview to hire. I was very impressed with Jeremy’s professionalism, coaching and his enthusiasm. He effectively matched me with what I believe to be my best opportunity to enhance my career. I have already recommended Jeremy to several others.

Candidate

I have known Jeremy for six years… he listens very well… he did not waste my time or his with opportunities that didn’t make sense. By far, Jeremy is the best recruiter I have ever worked with over my 20 plus years of professional experience.

Candidate

Jeremy’s continual availability allowed me to let go and not become overly worrisome throughout the process. Being that calm isn’t typical of the job-search process, but Jeremy made it easy. He helped me balance the need for financial gain with a focus on job fulfillment. I felt like I knew every aspect of the job for which I was interviewing and that confidence helped me get the job. Jeremy’s performance was stellar. He and I have caught-up several times since I started my new position and I’d definitely consider him a vital business relationship.
