REGL Recruiters

Based on the most helpful WSO content, REGL (Regional) groups at banks typically have a different recruiting process compared to the main offices. For lateral recruiting, the process often involves smaller, more focused efforts. Banks usually start by internally circulating openings to colleagues before posting externally. HR is generally not involved in the actual interview or screening process; instead, bankers handle it directly.

For regional offices, recruiting tends to kick off in the Spring (around April/May), while NY offices recruit later in the Summer (late July/August). The process for regional groups can be more rigorous, and resumes are carefully screened. It’s best to cast a wide net and focus on places where you’ve had prior traction or connections.

If you're looking for specific recruiters, it’s less about firms like Long Ridge or KA and more about leveraging your network and targeting banks with open lateral slots.
