More than ever, the talent recruitment team at M&T Bank is tapping into a specific part of the population to fill hundreds of jobs in Buffalo. It’s the segment that Marcie Vassallo, M&T’s director of talent acquisition operations, refers to as “boomerangers.” “I think oftentimes it’s a forgotten hiring and recruiting strategy,” said Vassallo, who oversees recruitment efforts for the entire bank. “It’s looking at talent that at one time worked for the organization or lived in Western New York and then left to pursue other opportunities.” Hiring expats has always been part of M&T’s recruitment efforts.
