NAMMBA Consulting specializes in the financial service industry, including mortgage banking, commercial banking, retail/business banking, wealth management, and fintech.

We help our clients realize organizational outcomes and business objectives by building more diverse teams and inclusive cultures. Our research shows that employees at companies with a D&I strategy experience higher levels of creativity and engagement, indicate a stronger intent to stay in their jobs and feel a stronger sense of belonging. Through both our work in the market and conversations with leaders, we have seen that engaged, inclusive and diverse leadership is critical to D&I success.

We understand the nuances of diversity across industries and geographies. At NAMMBA Consulting, we approach our research, search and advisory work with the recognition that diversity can be inherent or acquired, ranging across gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, generations, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, veteran status, political affiliation, education, experience, age, work style, communication style, socioeconomic background, cross-cultural competency and perspective.

Organizations around the world are struggling to achieve a strong and diverse workforce. The concept of diversity in the workplace has become important because historically, this wasn’t the case. When people think of diversity, they often think of demographic groups like race or gender. However, diversity is a much broader and more inclusive concept.

At NAMMBA Consulting, we offer our clients three unique approaches to retaining diverse talent:

  • Retained Search
  • Customized Retained Search
  • Contingency Search

Retained Search

Retained Search is preferable in cases where a company has a pressing executive level need that requires a candidate who will hold key leadership responsibilities, and whose services are integral to overall organizational success. Given the strategic importance of these positions, there is often a degree of urgency and/or confidentiality that accompanies this type of search. Retained searches are given priority status in terms of the level of consulting talent assigned to conduct the search, and the time and resources that are dedicated to the project.

Customized Retained Search

A Customized Retained Search offers several benefits to both the client company and the search firm in that many of the strengths of the retained search model can be captured while at the same time reducing the financial risks for both parties. In a customized retained search, the fee is typically divided into two parts. The first part (“container”) is paid at the beginning of the search and is typically one-third of the anticipated search fee. The last part (remaining two-thirds of the search fee) is paid when the search has been successfully completed. While a client company will not get all the benefits of a retained search using this model, the results are usually more satisfactory than a straight contingency search. We offer customized services for specialized search assignments tailored to the needs of individual companies.

Contingency Search

A Contingency Search offers several benefits to both the client company and the search firm, in that many of the strengths of the retained search model can be captured while at the same time reducing the financial risks for both parties.

NOTE: NAMMBA Consulting waives their monthly retainer for NAMMBA partner companies.
