Recruiting to Retain (A Principle-Centered Strategy to Win the War for Talent)

In an industry plagued by short careers and constant churn, Recruiting to Retain offers a better way.

John Wright II, managing partner of one of the most successful advisor firms in the country, reveals how selective hiring and personal mentoring lead to career retention—not just job placement. Drawing on two decades of leadership, this book outlines a replicable model for financial advisor recruiting, built on principle-based leadership and hands-on engagement.

Wright doesn’t sugarcoat the process. It’s time-consuming. It requires real investment. But it works. His selective hiring process has produced the largest organically grown firm in his network, with career retention rates far above the industry average. From how to screen candidates to how to build advisor teams that thrive, Recruiting to Retain is a rare mix of candid memoir and practical handbook.

Readers will gain tools for:

• High retention hiring
• Mentoring financial advisors
• Creating a culture that values persistence and purpose

Wright’s process favors long-term success over quick wins—and demands that firm leaders reclaim responsibility for recruitment. If you’re tired of seeing good candidates fail, or watching your top talent leave, this book will show you what it takes to build something better.
