Bickford Angier & AssociatesWorking with Dana and her associates has been a rewarding experience. I consider ARS the biggest part of my recruiting efforts. Together we take a consultative approach in identifying experienced advisors and communicate regularly to continue to build solid relationships with them. We have such a unique relationship with regard to experienced advisor recruiting that I would not consider using any other service. I would highly recommend using ARS if you have any recruiting needs.

Managing Principal Waddell & ReedIt is my privilege to be able to provide some perspective as it pertains to working with ARS. I have had the opportunity to work within the industry for over thirty years and over that span of time I have tried several times to find a responsible professional that would be able to call other professionals and be able to manage the personal challenges that are often beyond the skills and scope of most firms. ARS Leadership is what makes the difference when you are engaged with this firm. Dana Sacia is the owner and hands on everyday leader. She has such great values and guiding principles and she is so client centric that you will want to make up issues just to call Dana and have her make you feel better. Results are never guaranteed when you hire someone but anyone who hires Dana is absolutely guaranteed that they will get her firm’s best effort. When you hire ARS you will never doubt that the results you get will be the best anyone in the country could have done. Her firm is that good!!! I am glad everyday that we have relationship with ARS and most importantly, Dana.

Chief Executive Officer SMART Concepts Registered Principal –Alternative Recruiting Services has been a huge help to our firm by bolstering our recruitment process. The most difficult step in the recruitment of advisors was identifying those whom would be a good fit. ARS consistently brought good qualified leads to us that were indeed a good fit. That made the next conversation we had with the advisor much easier because we knew we were talking to someone we wanted to hire and someone who we could bring substantial value to helping them grow their business.
Robert C. Mayes
CEO BlueCreek Investment Partners, LLCWe have used ARS for our recruiting efforts for the past 3 years and it has been a very rewarding experience. The investment in ARS is worth the payoff. We have hired over 15 candidates from the leads ARS has provided us.
Joe Nienhaus
Regional Vice President Woodbury Financial ServicesI would strongly urge anyone looking to grow their practice through recruiting quality candidates to use ARS and Dana Sacia. We nicknamed her “The Vitamin Girl” because we received a quality referral at least “One-A-Day”.
Rob Montgomery
Managing Partner Securian Financial Advisors of NDWe hired Dana and her team to provide CPA leads to a selective group of our financial advisors to create professional alliance relationships for business growth. Dana and her team were very prompt, professional and systematized in their approach. Dana kept me informed on activity on a frequent basis so we always knew where we stood in relation to our commitment to the advisors. They were very productive in producing on average over 10 introductions per advisor over about a 4 month time frame. We will definitely use Dana and her services again as it fits into our business planning.
Jeff Timonen
Independent Franchise officeARS and Dana Sacia have been invaluable to my firm’s recruiting needs. ARS consistently delivers the highest number of candidates that meet our profile. The calls I make are always received favorably and ARS always accurately portrays the opportunity. If you are need of a dedicated recruiting resource and you have experienced the high cost and lack of success of many higher profile recruiting firms, do yourself a favor and call Dana. I promise you that the time will be well spent.
William Costello
Financial ArchitectsAfter making the decision to partner with a recruiter/search firm to help my business grow, I talked with half a dozen different firms. When I reached out to Dana and her team at ARS I could immediately tell they were different, in a good way! Based on my conversations with Dana I decided to hire them. This relationship has been one of those that I look at and wished I established years ago. ARS has gone above and beyond the original scope to fulfill our agreements. It was because of this that has caused me to become a huge advocate for Dana and her team. We have been successful at accomplishing our goals. I look forward to continuing my work with this firm. I highly recommend them.

“I wanted to write and thank you for a job well done. ARS has been a big part of our recruiting efforts. I believe ARS is very professional and more importantly I think they get results. With so many head hunting firms out there, so few really align with the Financial Advisor recruiting objectives that face firms today. Financial firms operationally are run very differently today, there is downsizing and cost cutting every day. I believe ARS is a great fit for today’s recruiting environment. We are in a numbers game, always have been. What ARS does is give you those additional numbers and the process generates the much needed database of qualified candidates. Thanks Dana, you do a great job.”
