Market / Missouri
Financial advisor recruiting in Missouri
Permanent placements for independent advisory practices, RIAs and wealth management firms across Missouri. The Kansas City metro is where we know the firms best, and we search the whole state from there.
The local market
The other
half of one
metro
Kansas City is one labor market and two states, and the city itself sits in Missouri. A candidate here and a candidate in Overland Park are competing for the same roles, but licensing, payroll and commute expectations do not line up neatly, and pay bands are not identical either side of the line.
That is worth pricing before an ad goes out rather than after an offer is declined. Our Kansas page covers the Johnson County side of the same metro.
Where we started
The metro we started in
Humans Being Resources was founded in the Kansas City metro in January 2016. This is where the firm took its first searches and built its first client list, and the advisory practices here are the ones we have known longest.
The operation has since moved to Florida and the firm recruits nationally, but Missouri is the market we started in. That is why this page reaches past the city line to Independence, Lee’s Summit and the rest of the state.

What that means for a search
Two pay
bands, one
candidate
A candidate living in Missouri will interview on both sides of the line, and will price your offer against whatever the Kansas side is paying. Firms that post a number without checking that lose people at the offer stage rather than the interview stage, which is the expensive place to lose them.
That is the part of the search we are actually being paid for. We research what the role pays in your market before the ad goes out, then go directly to people already doing the job well elsewhere in the state.
Where we work
Missouri markets
The largest markets in the state, and the ones a search here usually starts from. The Kansas City metro is where we know the firms, and we search statewide from there.
Common Missouri roles: Client Service Associate, Financial Advisor Assistant, Financial Advisor and Certified Financial Planner.
