Your international recruitment and jobs for actuaries and actuarial students.

Welcome to the area containing information on our client services. Quantum Selection specialises in the recruitment of actuaries and actuarial students around the world. All our consultants are actuaries or part-qualified actuaries so have a good understanding of the nature of the actuarial industry. We focus mainly on contingency recruitment (that is, we only charge a fee in the event of a successful appointment) and we have a simple and competitive fee structure with a three month 100% rebate.

Quantum Selection takes a global village approach to the actuarial job market and attracts candidates from throughout the world. We appreciate the need to recruit locally in most instances and always focus our initial attention on local candidates or locals working abroad and now interested in returning home. Sometimes it is necessary to consider overseas actuaries and Quantum Selection is very experienced in the area of international actuarial recruitment. This means we can support you through the whole process, from suggestions on arranging interviews to negotiations on package.

Our consultants work very flexible hours in order to communicate with you during your country’s office hours as well as candidates out of their office hours in various locations. We also regularly travel around the world in order to facilitate meeting with you to discuss your requirements and expectations.

PROCESS

We will first work with you to devise a detailed job specification. We need as much information as possible, not only to make suitable skills matches, but also to attract the best candidates. We also have a secure facility if you prefer to upload your vacancies directly to our website. At this stage we also identify any difficulties facing the current local market so we can work together towards alleviating these.

We compile a shortlist of actuaries and students with suitable skills, knowledge and experience by sourcing in a number of ways appropriate to contingency search.

We conduct a detailed search of our extensive database, which has been built up through almost ten years of communicating with actuaries and actuarial students around the world.

We include your vacancy on our website and place advertisements in other relevant e-mail, web and published media.

We do not usually headhunt, but we do at times handle direct candidate approaches for a very specific requirement or where you want a confidential approach a candidate.

We then discuss your requirement with the shortlisted candidates to determine their interest and also understand their expectations. If the candidate is suitable AND interested in the job, we proceed with an application, comprising the CV and our own covering report containing supplementary information. You can be confident that any application we send has been explicitly authorised by the candidate prior to being made.

For those candidates you select, we will support you throughout the interview process and arrangements. Following all interviews, we discuss first impressions with both the candidate and yourself, as this is an important part in managing expectations and developing the ongoing relationship for both parties. Should all parties be interested in taking matters further, we advise you through the delicate processes of the offer and any subsequent discussions. If not, the interview feedback helps us to understand what is not going to work!

Our service does not end on the day a successful actuary or actuarial student begins his job. We are always available to provide ongoing advice on any actuarial recruitment matters.
