ServicesWho we are How we do itOliver James Associates are a specialist recruitment partner to the Financial Services
sector; finding and placing market-leading talent across the world. Our consultants
provide both permanent and interim recruitment services and offer Retained Search, Sole
Agency and Contingency Recruitment solutions.
Using our proactive search methodology we help organisations to attract the most suitable
talent in the market rather than being limited to a list of candidates that are actively seeking
jobs. This is paramount when the demand for many skills needed within the sector outweighs
the supply of candidates at any one time. We are able to provide a full range of bespoke
recruitment services tailored to your needs, including Executive Search, Contingent Search,
Interim, Advertised Selection and Talent Scouting solutions.
Where we do itWhat we do betterFrom our offices in London, Manchester, Paris, Amsterdam, Dublin, Zurich, Hong Kong and
Singapore we cover the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe and Asia Pacific regions.
Our determination to develop long-term relationships based on trust, integrity
and successful delivery has culminated in an unrivalled, highly efficient and far-
reaching network of mid-to-senior level professionals from within both industry and
consultancy environments.

Testimonials
“As an Interim Head of HR, I often rely on good recruiters to
assist me to deliver for my clients. I have worked with Oliver
James Associates on a number of assignments and have
been impressed with their knowledge of the insurance mar-
ket and professionalism. They take the time to understand
the culture of the hiring organisation so that they can match
candidates’ skills and experience as well as their suitability
for the organisation. The consultants are personable and
professional and it is a pleasure to deal with them.”
Interim Head of HR.
Global insurance group
“What really set Oliver James apart from the other recruiters
we had engaged was the flexibility to move with our needs,
both in terms of keeping a regular dialogue regarding
understanding our business needs and filtering only relevant
candidates through to us.
Once we had found our chosen candidate, their advice
was extremely valuable in managing both sides of the offer
process in such a way as to sell our organisation but not to
unduly rush or pressurise the individual involved.”
Head of Technical Provisioning
Lloyd’s syndicate
“Its always been a pleasure working with Oliver James
Associates. The consultants are professional and personable
yet still to the point and great at finding specific roles that are
of interest.
It’s always about knowing your client and knowing what type
of role they would be interested in also focusing on career
development. This is what makes Oliver James unique.”
Manager
Leading independent insurance group
“I’ve always found Oliver James consultants very knowledgea-
ble and professional; in particular they are keen to understand
what you’re looking for. They always provide a very focussed
approach, and consequently opportunities they suggest are
appropriate.
I would strongly recommend them, whether you’re looking
for a new opportunity, or seeking to strengthen your actuarial
team.”
Group Pricing Actuary
Global insurer
“I continue to be provided with a high quality service
both on a contingent and retained basis. No matter
which style of recruitment, the calibre of candidate
is always of the highest order. Your consultants are
always knowledgeable, professional and best of all,
great fun to work with and are a credit to you and the
business.
Through challenging assignments across both the
banking and insurance markets, whether it be finance,
underwriting, compliance, risk, actuarial, operations
etc., you have continually received the highest praise
from our line managers which makes my life so much
easier when I know we have an agency partner that we
can trust to get on and get the job done!”
Recruitment Manager
Global bank
“I have used Oliver James Associates for many years in
terms of recruiting for my organisation, and all I can say
is that it has resulted in some great hires!
They always seems to manage to find exactly the
type of candidate I am looking for, be that an actuarial
student or a technical specialist.”
Manager. Top global insurer

need approaching in a more targeted and discreet manner.
Executive Search
This approach relies on our proactive search methodology as well as our efficient
referral network to generate the vast majority of our candidates.
Contingent Search
This approach is most effective when covering a large geographical area, a broad
range of possible skill sets or high volume recruitment.

InterimThe fast paced contract market requires high calibre candidates at short notice, our
specialist team keep in regular contact with our expansive network allowing us to
consistently deliver.
