ST. PETERSBURG — Raymond James Financial Inc. has hired Robbie Moseley to head up Advisor Choice Consulting, its internal financial advisor recruiting platform. He succeeds Barry Papa, who passed away suddenly in March, according to a news release.

“We have an incredible recruiting team,” Raymond James Private Client Group President Scott Curtis states in the release. “Under Robbie’s guidance, we expect this team to continue to flourish and build on our strong, steady growth and outstanding recruiting results.
