About Us:
Experience
GRN Mid-Cities was founded on Valentine’s Day, 2013 by Blair Lewis to bring bespoke recruiting services to the financial services industry. While GRN Mid-Cities is relatively young in existence, Blair brings 20 years of industry experience in wealth and asset management to every search GRN Mid-Cities conducts.
Blair Lewis founded GRN Mid-Cities to leverage his financial industry background to improve the recruiting experience for both the client and candidate. Blair used a recruiter for each position in his career and realized that having direct experience within the industry was a rarity. After working on his first few recruiting projects, Blair saw first-hand how his career experience led to candidates being more willing to discuss a new career opportunity because they felt they were speaking with a trusted peer.
Trust
Building trust with candidates is the key to bringing successful, happily-employed candidates to the table. Being able to share a career opportunity with familiarity and understanding is essential to attracting high-quality candidates. Blair Lewis’ career experience brings a wealth of knowledge that separates GRN Mid-Cities from other search firms.
The GRN Mid-Cities team knows that what matters is the quality of the candidate. It can be frustrating and time-consuming to weed through unqualified or unfit applicants. Our clients trust us to bring them world-class qualified contenders. We earn the trust of the candidates we vet through our industry expertise.
Results
We call our clients “partners” for a reason. GRN Mid-Cities believes in working together to achieve the best possible results.
We focus on communication with the hiring managers who will work directly with our candidates. A hiring manager’s feedback on a candidate’s profile and interview results go a long way to helping us better vet candidates. Ultimately, all this is done to meet hiring needs better and save time in the process.
When our partner firms are active and involved with us during the recruiting process, they see amazing results.
