Our Story

At AG Talent Alliance Group, our story begins with Aure Garcia, the founder and driving force behind our firm. Throughout his career, Aure worked closely with clients across a variety of industries and witnessed firsthand the significant challenges companies face when trying to secure the right talent. In many cases, the inability to hire top-tier candidates placed immense strain on existing teams, leading to burnout, rising stress levels, and disruptions to critical business operations.

Aure quickly realized that traditional recruitment agencies often lacked the industry-specific experience and deep understanding required to fill these highly specialized roles. As a result, mismatches were common, only adding to the pressure and frustration felt by both clients and their teams. Determined to solve this problem, Aure founded AG Talent Alliance Group — a talent acquisition/recruitment firm dedicated to providing tailored, industry-specific solutions. We focus exclusively on sourcing top-tier talent in Accounting, Finance, Internal & External Audit, BSA/AML, and Risk Advisory functions. By concentrating on these specialized areas, we leverage our deep expertise to identify, assess, and place exceptional candidates who can make an immediate, lasting impact.

What sets us apart is our commitment to going beyond resumes. We conduct in-depth interviews, ensuring candidates possess the real-world skills and accomplishments needed to succeed in their roles. Our approach ensures the perfect match for both clients and candidates, fostering long-term success for everyone involved.

At AG Talent Alliance Group, we're not just about recruitment. We're also passionate about mentorship and professional development. With an extensive network of professionals, we connect individuals with opportunities that align with their career goals, while helping businesses build strong, high-performing teams that drive sustainable growth and success.
