Park Avenue Group

Hybrid opportunity...top tier bank!

As a recruiter, sometimes it’s really hard to find out what’s better about one company over another.     Hiring managers focus on what candidates can do, but rarely showcase what makes their company stand out.   There is compensation, co-workers and senior management, company stability and direction, duties and responsibilities, commute, opportunity for advancement, environment, and probably a few others.     How do you know that what your company has is better than anyone else’s?     Often, I find that the hiring managers don’t have an objective view of their company within the landscape of all their competitors.     For example, a B or C company only wants to hire an A player. This makes my job really tough because nobody wants to hear that they don’t warrant star performers. So, hiring managers, how do you articulate your company's unique value proposition? #ValueProposition #ExecutiveSearch #BankRecruiter

Dear Friends and Colleagues, Some of you may or may not be aware of the passing of Stacy Stevens. As her husband, I have put together this memoriam to celebrate and remember the life and legacy of Park Avenue Group's Founder Stacy Stevens. Stacy Stevens passed away on November 2nd of 2023 from a 2-year battle against a rare form of cancer called Cholangiocarcinoma. True to her nature, she fought with courage and determination. Despite having finally lost her battle with cancer, her enduring legacy lives on today. Stacy's visionary leadership, dedication, and innovative spirit left a mark on Park Avenue Group and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with her. Marc Stevens, Stacy’s husband, continues to carry the torch as the Managing Director for Park Avenue Group’s Banking and Financial services division. "Almost ten years have passed since Stacy hired me to work at PAG as an executive recruiter", states Robin O'Donnell, Director of Financial Services at Park Avenue Group. "I had just moved from Pennsylvania and was having a hard time adjusting to Florida. Stacy made going to work feel like home. She was a shrewd businesswoman; driven and competitive, but she was also kind and generous, always willing to help. I don’t think it’s possible to fill the void that she left" says O'Donnell. In January 2023, Park Avenue Group joined forces with Angott Search Group, forming a unified entity. ASG is committed to honoring her legacy by upholding the values, principles, and vision Stacy instilled within Park Avenue Group. Chairman and CEO of Angott Search Group, Mark Angott states "We are committed to honoring Stacy by carrying on her founded company, Park Avenue Group, by hiring individuals that have similar values and desire to carry on her legacy by providing excellent service to their banking clients." Angott also expresses, "While Stacy is deeply missed, her spirit has left an imprint on all of us at Angott Search Group." Beyond her many professional accomplishments, Stacy had a profound impact on the lives of others through her kindness and genuine spirit. Stacy's ability to uplift others with a simple gesture or heartfelt compliment is a testament to her remarkable character. May her memory continue to inspire each of us to be our best selves every day, extend a little kindness and don’t let a day go by without telling those who are special in your lives that you love them.
