    Travillian has supported BankProv in filling some critical roles across the Bank with some of the best quality candidates we have had the pleasure of meeting. They listened to our unique needs and brought us the best of the best, making our final decision very difficult. Thank you to the Travillian team for being great partners and for helping to further strengthen our extremely talented employee base.

      Working with Travillian was simple, entertaining and extremely productive. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the process, but the end result exceeded expectations. All evidence to date suggests that Travillian delivered and they did so in less than 3 months. The Travillian team listened attentively and patiently. They sold the Bank highlighting our “unconventional” culture. He didn’t waste my time with unsuitable candidates and ultimately unearthed our unicorn.

          The Travillian team took pains to understand the bank’s needs. The position we sought could’ve been filled by candidates with a broad range of qualities, adding significant complexity. However, after much hard work, we decided to focus more on the top of the talent spectrum. Once I was clear on my version of the optimal candidate, Travillian presented stellar candidates. The first candidate was so good we didn’t need to speak with the others. Three months after onboarding, I can’t imagine a better fit.
