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.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
Very pleased with my experience working with Eliana. She took the time to understand my background and goals, and identified relevant opportunities that would serve as a “next step” in my career progression. All communications were managed professionally and very punctually. Would recommend without hesitation!
Bailey was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire recruiting process. She presented to me exciting opportunities according to my career aspirations and diligently kept in touch during the entire process. I highly recommend Bailey for your next job search.
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.
Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity.
I highly recommend Sally and her professional recruitment services. She is an honest and forthright professional in her own right and does an excellent job matching company needs to a professional’s desires.
Besides being a reliable source of information and an extraordinary ambassador for both the company trying to recruit talent or the individual looking for a new opportunity, the most important quality that Sally displays is Integrity. Sally can be depended upon to make a good match between employer and employee. I personally have known Sally to recommend NOT accepting a position that was offered as she did not think it was a good fit for me and my career goals. Sally took this action despite the fact that would cost her recruiting fees. For this reason, I know that I can always depend on Sally to work in the best interest of both the company recruiting talent as well as the professional seeking new opportunity. I believe this quality is truly rare in the world of professional recruitment and is extremely beneficial in the long run for her clients.
This letter is my personal recommendation for Sally Ezra. I have known Sally for over 15 years. During this time, I found her to be diligent in following through on commitments and relentless in pursuing opportunities or candidates on behalf of those she represents.
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of having been a client of Sally’s both as a prospective employer as well as a professional seeking a new career opportunity. I can say, without hesitation, that she has exceeded my expectations in all the situations that we have worked together. She doesn’t view the hiring process as being a sporting event (“winning at all costs”); instead, she knows that looking for a good match should be a “win-win” proposition. Again, from both perspectives (employer and employee), her efforts have consistently paid off for me in durable beneficial relationships.
