The industry is also beginning to recruit new talent, as the median age of lead advisers is 46 years, down from 50 as measured in 2015. Believe it or not, advisory practices are finding new talent in the hospitality industry. Social media, particularly LinkedIn, can be a fruitful way to prospect for new clients.
