EMPLOYER TESTIMONIALS
"I would recommend Wes Schulte and Heartland Search Company to anyone and everyone. Working with Wes was very positive - his communication and preparation materials were excellent. He was very open and honest about all aspects of the interviewing process and through the acceptance of the position as well. I used a recruiter in the past and I can tell you that not all recruiters are the same. Wes is someone that will help you through the process the entire way and will be a resource in the future as well."
S.G. - Senior Commercial Banker, Iowa
"Wes was very proactive with us. We had a need for a Portfolio Manager and called to introduce us to a very strong candidate – one who we likely would never have found without his services. Wes is very straightforward, quick to respond and fair to deal with. I would recommend his services to any bank in Iowa in need of good lending candidates."
Pat D. - EVP, Senior Lending Officer
“I recently worked with Wes Schulte and Heartland Search Company regarding an addition to my Business Banking staff. Wes was extremely prepared when calling me to present information. He took the time to talk through exactly what I was looking for in a candidate as well as presented to me the positives of the candidate he was working with, and why that person would be a great fit for my sales team. Wes’s follow-up was professional and not at all over-bearing. When asked to follow-up with me on certain dates, he was responsive. I really appreciated the fact that Wes took the time to analyze my needs as the hiring manager, and wasn’t just trying to push the candidate onto me. Wes was patient with my timeline, and maintained a professional conversation with me throughout the process. I would absolutely utilize Heartland Search Company for new transactions and would be happy to refer them to my colleagues in the future.”
