FRANCINE ALEXANDER
Recruiting Officer
“Connecting with potential candidates is of great importance to me, and when I connect with someone who is from Louisiana, it just brings about an extra boost in my day! I am always excited to speak with my homegrown folks. I often connect with other candidates that may know of the city I’m from which is New Iberia, LA home of the Tabasco Sauce or the university I graduated from, University of Louisiana at Lafayette (GO RAJUN CAJUNS!). Making a connection with candidates is truly the highlight of my work. Those who have recently relocated to the DFW area are the people with whom I empathize because I was once in their shoes.
Searching for a job when you’ve moved from one state to another can be very challenging for many. So, in reflecting on my own experiences in seeking employment, I try my best to ease the process as much as possible for all candidates.”

“Recruiting is a small piece of FCBI but is one of the most valuable assets in the company. We are the key and the portal to a positive approach which benefits both employer and employees. This plays a huge role in employee retention. Being a recruiter gives me a sense of fulfillment, gratitude, and pride to see new hires start from entry-level roles and becoming part of our management team.”
DARREN HENDRICKS
Recruiting Officer
“At First Convenience Bank, we take pride in career progression and guidance. FCBI fosters an educational atmosphere, enabling employees to achieve their utmost career potential. With opportunities for advancement, FCBI is the perfect place for someone looking for career growth. One of my most rewarding experiences is seeing the path of the employees here at FCBI where seniority does not matter and competitive nature is the standard. I remember hiring an employee when I first started with the company. One year later, he was promoted to a branch manager, then integrated our learning and development team six months later! That by far is the best feeling, seeing talented people reaching their goals and aspirations.”
ZUJEY GUTIERREZ

“In our recruiting TEAM, we work together cohesively towards our common goal. “Filling the positions with the BEST candidates in a TIMELY manner.” We also create a positive atmosphere and support each other so that we put together our individual strengths and enhance the team’s performance.
I have had the privilege to work with people who have boosted my career growth with their knowledge and experience. I have always received the guidance I needed to become independent and capable of making decisions in the best interest of both our team and the company.”
DESTINEE JOHNSON

“Being a Recruiter with FCBI is a rewarding experience itself. It brings me joy to provide individuals with new and exciting career opportunities of their own. My best experience with FCBI was recruiting for a new branch and being able to participate in the grand opening! At that moment, I saw the branch’s very first customer and the positive impact the branch has in its community.”
