I’ve had a tyre-kicker ECD say that he has lots of work coming in and that we should meet ASAP. Then nothing for months. He’s just emailed back; saying the same stuff. Shall I ghost this douche?

As tempting as it may be, I wouldn’t give in to that impulse. A short “Sounds great, let me know when things firm up and you have more details” email back is the smarter approach. Trust me. And it barely takes any longer than ghosting him.

Dam it, you’re right. He’ll get to bait me again.

Just sending a thumbs-up emoji is the perfect elixir here: it's literally the least you can do (and should hint to him that his empty BS response means nothing) yet it's not ghosting and keeps the door open if he ever de-douchifies himself.

What's the most effective way for a small RIA to recruit FAs who have a few years experience, want to break away from large/corporate firms? I'm a $70M fee-only (commissions for insurance) independent RIA with a generous comp schedule that enables FAs to own their own book while they grow. As the owner, my focus is to help FAs succeed; as a firm, our focus is on client service and helping them succeed. I can afford a small salary, but not benefits. I'm especially interested in female FAs.
