Elite Talent That Accelerates Your Firm’s Growth
The Hidden Cost of Every Empty Seat
Every week without the right hire is costing your firm $10,000’s
You didn’t build your firm to coast. You built it to grow.
But right now, every seat that’s empty – or filled with the wrong person – is siphoning off revenue you should already be capturing. It’s lost opportunities, delayed growth, and executive hours wasted on interviews that go nowhere.
At The Well, we exist for one reason: to deliver the elite advisors and operators who multiply your revenue, protect your time, and accelerate your firm’s trajectory.
The Pressure You Can’t Ignore
Your firm is growing – but your team can’t carry the load forever.
- Your A-players are stretched thin. The more you lean on them, the closer they are to burning out or walking away.
- Things are starting to slip. The service your clients expect - and your brand promises - is at risk of being compromised.
- Your reputation is on the line. In this business, one missed detail or one neglected client can undo years of credibility.
- Opportunities are passing you by. You can see the market share that should be yours, but without the right people, you can’t capture it.
Here’s the math: according to Schwab, the average professional hire in a wealth management firm generates $50,000 per month in revenue. Every empty seat is costing you $12,500 per week.
That’s not pocket change. That’s millions in lost growth every year – all because the right person isn’t in the right seat.
When Delay Becomes Decay
You already know talent is the bottleneck between where you are and where you want to be.
But here’s what too many leaders underestimate:
Your team won’t tell you when they’re at the breaking point.
They’ll quietly disengage, take recruiter calls, and eventually leave.
Your clients won’t announce when they feel neglected.
They’ll just move assets to a competitor with more capacity.
Your reputation won’t collapse overnight.
It will erode slowly, until one day the brand you built no longer carries the same weight.
Your competitors won’t wait.
They’re hiring. They’re scaling. And the market share you could have captured this year may never be available again.
Every month without the right person in the seat isn’t just lost revenue. It’s lost momentum. Lost trust. Lost ground.
In wealth management, you don’t get those back.
Authority Forged Inside the Industry
The Well is not another résumé shop. We are the only recruiting partner built from within wealth management itself.
- Proven leadership experience. Our founder, Steve Perry, spent 17 years at a Fortune 100 wealth management firm. He began as an advisor, built a team of 40 from scratch, and by the end of his career was running a firm of 125 employees as Managing Partner. He’s interviewed thousands and hired hundreds – firsthand experience in building elite teams.
- Technology advantage. We’ve invested more than $500,000 in an industry-specific recruiting stack & data with over 40 integrated platforms.
- World-class tech leadership. Our full-time technology architect previously did top-secret AI/ML work for the U.S. government. Today, he applies that expertise to make us the most technologically advanced recruiting firm in wealth management.
- Exclusive inbound network. Every month, advisors and executives - from service advisors to COOs to nine-figure producers - approach The Well directly. These are candidates you will never find on job boards.
- Specialized recruiting talent. Our recruiters don’t sell, multitask, or work outside this industry. They recruit - full-time, exclusively in wealth management - and they are compensated at a level no individual firm could offer, which allows us to retain the best recruiting talent in the market.
- Prayer as strategy. We partner with more than 30 Bible College students who pray daily by name for our clients, candidates, and company. We view this as a true strategic advantage - and we’ve seen results that can’t be explained any other way.
This is why The Well is in a category of one: speed, precision, and discretion backed by lived experience in wealth management.

How We De-Risk Every Hire
Hiring doesn’t have to feel like a gamble. We’ve built safeguards into every engagement:
Industry Exclusivity
We are the only recruiting firm solely focused on W-2 hires in wealth management. We don’t dabble in other industries, and we don’t split our attention.
No M&A, No Hidden Agendas
Some recruiters play both sides by chasing M&A deals or pushing entrepreneurial advisors who want to cash out. We don’t. The Well has zero involvement in M&A. Our entire focus is finding the right W-2 talent to grow your firm — not sell it or divide it.
Builders, Not Book-Stealers
We don’t place advisors who plan to take clients and run. Many of the candidates we work with have already tried the entrepreneurial route and realized they’re far more effective inside a thriving firm. These are people who want to contribute to your culture, align with your leadership, and help you scale — not compete against you.
Unmatched Interview Volume
Because wealth management is our sole focus, we conduct more interviews in this industry than anyone else. That gives us sharper insights, better pattern recognition, and higher confidence in the candidates we deliver.
Flexible Engagement Models
Choose between two secure approaches:
- Engaged Search — Save upfront, pay for performance.
- Exclusive Retained Search — For confidential, highly sensitive, or mission-critical hires.
Long-Term Partnerships
Most of our clients don’t just use us once. As we learn your culture, leadership style, and unique preferences, each search gets faster, more precise, and more effective.
Candidate Replacement Guarantee
If a candidate doesn’t work out, you’re protected by our tiered replacement structure.
With The Well, hiring becomes a strategic advantage – not a liability.

Why Delay Costs More Than Our Fee
In wealth management, time compounds. Every month a role sits unfilled, your firm loses both revenue and leadership bandwidth. Fidelity research shows the average revenue per employee in wealth management is nearly $600,000 annually – about $50,000 per month.
The cost isn’t just financial:
- Executives lose focus.
- Teams burn out.
- Service slips and brands weaken.
That’s why our clients view our fee as an investment that pays for itself almost immediately. We are not the cheapest – and we never will be. But the return on a single great hire dwarfs the cost.
With The Well, you buy back time, revenue, and peace of mind.
A Bigger Future, Built Together
At The Well, recruiting isn’t about résumés. It’s about reshaping the future of an industry.
Our vision is bold:
- 100,000 elite placements by 2030
- Firms thriving, not surviving
- Generational impact on families, businesses, and communities
Our conviction is clear:
- Faith-founded, prayer-powered
- ROI-obsessed
- Legacy-driven
When you partner with The Well, you don’t just hire. You multiply. You scale. You protect your brand, your revenue, and your legacy.
The future of your firm is not tomorrow. It’s the decision you make today. Let’s build it together.
