Tom Ragland Email & Phone Number

In 2008 I founded the Harrison Rush Group. Lehman had collapsed and Bear Stearns was sold to JP Morgan. I also had just adopted my youngest child from Vietnam. The world was pretty crazy but there was a lot of opportunity. Seven years before I worked in the South Tower of the World Trade. 9/11 and the 2008 collapse taught me to not take things for granted. It also taught me that what I cherish most are my relationships. I started the firm to not conquer the world but to have the freedom to not have a boss and be able to spend time with my new baby and family.It was the best professional decision I ever made. I have been focused in Investment Banking recruiting from Global Heads to Analysts since 2003. What I love most is talking to candidates and managers. I have a natural sense of empathy amd love to listen to a job seeker and help figure out what they want to do. I also am very curious about why a HR pro or Hiring Manager is hiring and why they want to hire a certain person. I ask a lot of questions. We are selective in the banks we work with. They have to be good people and trustworthy. What gets me excited is connecting with people. Over the years I have done well but have given a lot away in terms of time and resources to people and causes i care about. Everyday I am grateful for what I have. The universe has blessed me and I have not done any of it alone.
