I am a senior consultant at Eames Consulting, specialising in pensions actuarial recruitment. I work with a range of clients, from boutique firms to large consultancies, helping them secure the best actuarial talent at all levels&mdash;from part-qualified actuaries to seasoned professionals.
With over a decade of experience in recruitment, I bring deep market knowledge and a consultative approach to both clients and candidates. My focus is on building strong, long-term relationships, ensuring every placement is not just a technical fit but a cultural one too. I take pride in my ability to source candidates who align with a company&rsquo;s vision and team dynamic, providing detailed feedback and open communication throughout the process.
For me, being an Opportunity Maker is about thinking outside the box and creating opportunities where they might not seem obvious. The actuarial space is highly technical, but career success is just as much about cultural fit as it is about skill set. That&rsquo;s why Eames' value of Cultural Connectivity resonates with me&mdash;I know that for a career move to be truly successful, both the candidate and the client need to be the right match. Seeing the people I&rsquo;ve placed thrive in their careers, and even return to me for hiring support, is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role.
