Testimonials

Smith & Wilkinson did an excellent job of listening and learning about our history, growth, and culture translating that into a description of the bank and the position we wanted to fill. They were were with us during all the interviews, helping to establish a framework and their insights and observations were most helpful. We found them to be very energetic and focused, with timely follow through. They also communicated frequently so that we were always up to date on the progress of the search process.
Stephen Abbott, The Coopoerative Bank of Cape Cod
Our experience with Smith & Wilkinson was a very positive one. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend them based upon their expertise in banking, their awareness of the CEO environment in the Northeast and their performance in our search.
 Edward Margola, Greenfield Savings Bank
