Actuarial Recruiting Experts
Recruiting in the actuarial field isn’t quite the same as in other industries. If you’re a hiring manager in charge of finding skilled analysts, predictive modelers, or any other type of actuarial talent, you need the help of recruiters who are familiar with this market and ingrained in the actuarial community. Your average firm does not possess the breadth of knowledge, industry experience, and longevity in this unique market. That’s why you need Ezra Penland.
We bring more than four decades’ worth of experience to actuarial and executive insurance recruitment. Whether your organization is looking for actuarial analysts to assess risk and set up predictive models, or you’re searching for a talented chief risk officer or senior data scientist to prepare your company for the future, we can help. Our deep connections with actuarial talent mean you gain access to the best candidates, every time – even “passive” candidates who aren’t necessarily in the market for new opportunities.

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Bailey. She is professional, responsive, and she is always truthful about the situation. Bailey contacted me about a job with a company she was recruiting for and the entire process was well organized and seamless. She kept me well updated through every step. Thanks to Bailey I have a job where I hope to work for years to come.
Bailey did an excellent job throughout the entire recruiting process. Contrary to other recruiters I’ve worked with, it was apparent that Bailey actually cared about my career and genuinely wanted to help me succeed. Additionally, she was extremely on top of managing her time and I knew I found out information the minute she received it. I would highly recommend Bailey to any of my colleagues.
I super appreciate all the work you did for me along the way, I know it wasn’t an easy process but I do think we found the right fit. Thanks again for all you’ve done for me, both this time and during my previous search.
Working with Ezra Penland has been a very positive experience for me, and I am so excited to be starting at Mutual Benefit Group in the coming weeks. I will be sure to recommend Ezra Penland to any of my actuarial colleagues who are looking for new opportunities.
