Key hiring challenges for pensions jobs


Our international network of highly qualified candidates and extensive experience filling pensions-related roles enables us to address the unique challenges faced by hiring managers in this sector.

Highly competitive

In pensions recruitment, competition to attract the most qualified and skilled talent from a limited pool of candidates is fierce.

Our extensive global network and deep knowledge of the sector enable us to identify and reach out to exceptional candidates, even before they are formally seeking a new role.

Sector-specific skills

The need for sector-specific skills and specialised knowledge such as actuarial expertise, strategic planning, and vision is paramount in pensions recruitment.

Our vetting process is designed to sift through the noise and highlight those individuals with the precise skill set needed for each role.

Compliance

Given the highly regulated nature of the field, it’s essential to source candidates who have up-to-date expertise in the relevant compliance standards.

We conduct in-depth interviews with each of our candidates to gain a complete picture of their current sector knowledge and match it to open roles.
