A Message from our Publisher: Recruiting is one of the most important aspects of running a successful brokerage firm. We at Broker Dealer Journal appreciate the effort needed in order to staff an office with the right producers. While researching articles for Broker Dealer Journal we spoke with numerous executive recruiters and managers alike and have listened to their needs and concerns. Our editorial is driven by the need to help managers and principals of stock brokerage firms run their organizations and hopefully expand them. That is why we are delighted to offer this new service for Broker Dealer Journal readers. The Broker Dealer Data system gives you access to what we consider to be the most comprehensive database of stock brokers available anywhere. Our staff has spent almost eighteen months assembling this list of FINRA licensed stock brokers and the user friendly on-line system for searching the list. We have listened to what is important to recruiting professionals and have implemented and will continue to implement features that make finding producers easier for you. We hope you will try our system and welcome any feedback you may have. Sincerely, Matthew Wein, Publisher Broker Dealer Journal
