EliteRecruitments

Specialist recruitment for financial services

EliteRecruitments is a recruitment firm that specializes in financial services and works across the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Bermuda and India. It places specialist professionals with insurers and reinsurers, banks, consultancies and capability centers. The firm says it was incorporated in 2014 and describes itself as a full-cycle recruitment service that offers a complete range of hiring support to its clients.

Actuarial hiring and the wider specialties

Actuarial hiring was the firm's original focus and takes in pricing, reserving and capital roles, while risk specialists serve risk management and advisory teams. Financial advisory searches and audit searches cover audit professionals for financial institutions. The firm says it has built up its service range one domain at a time, so that each area is understood before the firm moves on to another. Its stated areas include underwriting and claims management, management consulting and analytics.

Analytics, data and cloud talent

Analytics and data searches cover analytics, data engineering and cloud computing talent. The firm presents these areas as a development of its actuarial work.

Four ways to engage

The site lists four ways to work with the firm: retained search, contingency search, RPO and capability build. Retained work carries a replacement guarantee of 90 days, which the firm says protects clients if a placed hire does not work out.

How each search is run

The firm says its approach is employer-centric and candidate-centric at once. It researches both the client and the potential hire, looking for the right fit on each side, and it says candidates' expectations, goals and skills matter as much as the client's requirements. Both sides are kept informed at each step, and the firm presents itself as an extension of the client's reputation and the first point of contact a candidate has with the organization.

The institutions behind the searches

Its client base spans life, general and health insurance, reinsurance, pensions, investment, insurtech and fintech companies, consultancies and banks. The site describes work for global capability centers that are building or scaling specialist functions, and for consultancies that staff client engagements in financial services. It promises founder-led replies within one business day, and it offers a short, no-obligation conversation before any CVs are sent.
