ENDORSEMENTS Irwin Financial Corporation (http://www.irwinfinancial.com) is an interrelated group of specialized financial
services companies organized as a bank holding company, with a history
tracing to 1871. The Corporation,
through its major subsidiaries -- Irwin Mortgage Corporation, Irwin Union
Bank, Irwin Home Equity Corporation, Irwin Commercial Finance, and Irwin
Ventures -- provides a broad range of financial services to consumers and
small businesses in selected markets in the United States and Canada. To whom it may concern: I write this letter to express my
vote of confidence for Tony Hanson of the Hanson Group LLC. As past President and CEO of Irwin
Mortgage, I have retained Tony for many important searches for our company
where timing, confidentiality, and results were critical. Tony has been my
go-to recruiter for several years because of his fourteen-plus years of
experience, his deep network of industry contacts, and most of all his
effectiveness in getting the job done. Tony has been responsible for
placing our SVP of retail and correspondent production, SVP of loan
administration, and First VP of retail operations. He has also placed our VP
of information technology administration, our VP of product development, and
VP of process improvement, the latter position requiring him to reach outside
of the mortgage industry for an individual with specific Six Sigma skills
that Irwin needed. Tony also played a
role in acquiring a 203k and a sub prime production platform for Irwin. These
are but a few examples of what Tony has achieved on behalf of our company. In my opinion, what sets Tony
apart from the other recruiters and recruiting firms that I have worked with
is that he considers himself to be a strategic partner of Irwin and
responsible in his own way for our long-term competitive success. These are not just words. Tony has gained
an in-depth strategic understanding of Irwin and I have the comfort of
knowing that he is a strong advocate of our company as he interacts with
people across the industry. And when
it comes down the final stages with a candidate, Tony has an exceptional
ability to close the deal. Based on considerable experience,
I can strongly recommend Tony Hanson and the Hanson Group to any company in
search of a mortgage professional.
