Specialised markets require bespoke recruitment solutions. Since our launch

in 2002 we have focused on the Insurance, Banking and Professional Services

sectors. Our proactive, research-led approach to candidate sourcing enables

us to introduce our clients to a wider candidate population. This gives us an

advantage over our competitors who, in the main, rely heavily on more traditional

and reactive advertising or database driven solutions.

Our skilled consultants are highly networked across local and international

markets and are equipped with the latest resourcing tools and techniques.

This ensures that we deliver the right candidates first time. In addition,

our extremely low staff turnover and policy of employing experienced

consultants have seen us achieve and maintain a market-leading position

in each of these complex markets.

Our specialist divisions focus on core technical disciplines across the

following markets:

Actuarial

Audit

Broking, Claims and Underwriting

Change Management

Compliance

Risk Management

Technology

This level of specialisation allows us to develop and retain the intellectual capital

required to recruit effectively in these challenging markets, whilst also providing

us with the scope to identify entire ‘talent pools’ across a given discipline.

1. Listen:

To our clients, markets and candidates.

We are effective because we listen to our clients, we know our markets

and if we don’t already have the right person for the job, we know where

to start looking.

Benefit: Substantial experience in all our areas of specialisation ensures

accurate searches and high quality short-lists.

2. Understand:

Our clients’ recruitment priorities and our candidates’ career objectives.

Operational and cultural fit is all-important and our long-term approach

and depth of experience allow us to get this right time and time again.

Benefit: Astute candidate selection and clear communication throughout

ensure we deliver the best market talent, first time.

3. Deliver:

Through our creative search methodologies deployed across

the markets in which we are embedded.

We are recruitment experts. We employ a range of candidate acquisition

techniques to provide our clients with the best possible selection of candidates.

Benefit: Because our searches highlight all relevant talent, those who are

actively looking and also the silent ‘passive’ majority, our clients are presented

with the best candidates in the market, not only those from a database.

Why we are successfulWe listen, we understand, we deliver. Solving our clients’ recruitment challenges efficiently and accurately.

We are a business with over 80 staff globally, currently operating from offices

in London, Zurich and Singapore. We have plans to open additional offices in

other mature financial centres and build a global platform from which to support

our international clients. We identify and deliver the best available talent for leading

employers and look to work in partnership with those clients to ensure they receive

a premium level of service. For clients in search of international or local talent,

for permanent or contract positions – Eames Consulting Group will deliver.

Insight through research In markets with a shortage of active and visible talent, there will often be roles

that are specialist enough to require a more sophisticated approach, yet are

perhaps not appropriate for an executive search mandate. Through our detailed

knowledge of the markets, we can rapidly identify the top quartile talent in any

given sector and present these profiles to our clients on a contingent basis.

The significant benefit of this approach is that our clients are given access

to the best talent available, rather than being limited to only active candidates,

or indeed those registered on a competitor’s database.

Market Maps feature:

• Profiles of every individual within targeted institutions

• Organisational charts showing seniority and reporting lines

In addition to our executive recruitment services, we also support our clients through

the provision of specialised research. We are able to produce detailed ‘market

maps’ often when a client requires an in-depth search of a defined set of competitor

institutions or sectors and is either looking to make multiple hires or ‘lift’ an entire team.

We undertake to find every appropriate individual within these institutions, providing

our clients with a unique ‘panoramic’ view of the chosen competitor or sector.

Competitor Intelligence: This product provides you with detailed

information on an agreed list of key competitors. Areas covered

include organisational structure, product strengths, P&L, hiring history

and threat analysis.

Succession Planning / Benchmarking: This type of project allows

you to benchmark your current employees against their counterparts in

other institutions. This can be a useful measure against unexpected team

departures, allowing you to minimise the impact of losing key personnel.

Actuarial Divisions

With a finite candidate pool, our Actuarial consultants appreciate the importance of

understanding the market from a technical and relationship perspective. Our global

team of specialists have an extensive network, with expertise divided into the Non-Life,

Life & Health and Pensions & Investments sectors.

The team recognise that the importance of the Actuarial profession has never been

greater, due to the fundamental regulatory challenges that face the financial services

industry today. Our experienced consultants ensure they are up to date with topics

ranging from the implementation of Solvency II, to the de-risking of pension schemes

and institutional funds.

Placements include nearly / newly qualified candidates through to Senior Partners and

Chief Actuaries, enabling the divisions to offer our clients a comprehensive service

through contingent or market mapping exercises.

“I have worked with Eames on a number of searches for specialist roles with tailored profiles. Based on brief role profiles they managed to introduce very strong candidates and also a number of ‘out of the box’ suggestions that influenced my thinking relating to vacancies we had. Working with Eames has led to significant hires for my team and I am very pleased with them as a firm.”

Our Broking, Claims and Underwriting divisions contain a number of ex-market

professionals. They are dedicated to sourcing Senior Brokers, Underwriters,

Claims Executives and associated staff up to C-suite level across the Marine,

Non-Marine and Aviation markets for both the Insurance and Reinsurance sectors.

The divisions have achieved their market-leading position because of two key

strengths: their knowledge of the broking, claims and underwriting communities,

and the thoroughness and depth of their research. This is evidenced by their

‘market mapping’ product, which can be applied to any class of business.

With considerable knowledge of the majority of business classes they can quickly

and accurately identify high-calibre individuals and teams in the London Market,

across the UK and Internationally.

Consultants within the Audit divisions focus on specific business lines - Investment

Banking & Capital Markets, Wealth & Asset Management, Retail, Corporate and Private

Banking and Insurance. They also service the IT Audit and Professional Services market

in each of the corresponding domains.

Our consultants appreciate that the call for enhanced controls and independent

assurance from the market mean candidates, now more than ever, must demonstrate

an appreciation of these wider control and regulatory issues in order to provide

valuable assurance to their senior executives.

We are able to recruit across the full range of seniority, from newly qualified

accountants looking to move away from Practice, through to senior management

positions such as Global Audit Director. They take time to understand the technical

and cultural requirements of each candidate and client and can assess, at a high

level, the quality of audit work performed as well as the efficiency and effectiveness

of the audit talent in the market.

“I am more than happy to endorse Eames Consulting. We have been delighted with their unique retained search service that has manifested itself in two very productive teams. Eames Consulting’s market mapping product is invaluable to us.”

Head of Strategy, AonBenfield

“My personal experience of Eames is very positive; they provide well prepared candidates, who meet and often exceed the requirements of the role. In addition, I appreciate the consultants’ open and honest style, ensuring feedback is received, understood and fed back to the candidate during offer negotiations.”

Asset Management and Hedge Funds to Insurance, Regulatory Consultancies

and Regulatory bodies.

Our consultants understand the Compliance industry and keep abreast of new

Product Advisory, Monitoring & Surveillance, Policy & Regulatory Liaison, Training

& Competence, Research Clearance and Control Room and all aspects of financial

crime (including AML, KYC, TCF, Bribery & Corruption, Fraud Prevention and

In today’s global economy it is paramount for businesses to be lean and agile to

maintain a competitive edge. Our Change Management divisions offer unrivalled

access to highly experienced and specialised Change and Project Management

professionals across the Insurance, Banking and Professional Services sectors.

As business transformation and project delivery specialists, our consultants have proven

experience in delivering mandates across Operational Excellence, Organisational Design,

HR / Finance Transformation and Business Process Re-engineering. This, coupled

with our extensive candidate network, enables a prompt and efficient response to client

briefs, often providing innovative resourcing solutions to fill critical organisational skills

gaps within specific projects.

Our consultants are subject-matter experts who have built a global network of talent

to deliver against the most challenging projects in the market. In addition, our approach

of aligning by industry sector gives our teams the specialist insight our clients demand

and is pivotal to our on-going success.

“Eames Consulting Group are undoubtedly experts in their field. They have successfully placed several individuals into our Compliance division and, by partnering with the business to understand the requirements, they have provided an extremely consultative approach. Through their work our Compliance team is now much stronger and, as a result, I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.”

Professional Resourcing Team,Citi

“Eames Consulting makes it a priority to understand our business, culture and the nuances of each of our diverse technical and business facing divisions. With their global expansion we can now enjoy these benefits in other parts of the world, which allows us to take comfort in the fact that we are consistently recruiting the same high-calibre people across our organisation.”

The continued focus on Risk and regulatory change has led to significant emphasis

on the Risk Management domain. As the market moves to utilising Risk Management

in a commercial capacity, we have also moved to specialise with dedicated consultants

focussed solely on Market Risk, Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Quantative Analytics,

Operational Risk or Enterprise Risk Management. This offers our clients the chance

to work with a knowledgeable consultant who can access the very best passive and

active talent from the market.

The demand for high quality commercial Risk Management professionals has

also meant a targeted headhunting and research-driven strategy is necessary.

Each consultant, within their particular specialism, operates across the entire Financial

Services sector, including Insurance (Life & Non-Life), Corporate, Investment and Retail

Banking along with Asset, Wealth and Investment Management, enabling us to give our

clients a broad view of the talent that exists within the marketplace.

“There have been a few stand out performers who have really raised the bar this year in relation to our permanent recruitment. In particular Eames Consulting, who have placed in all areas of Risk and are currently the number one supplier for Global Risk.”

Our Technology divisions are dedicated to sourcing and delivering mid to senior level

IT and business technologists across the Insurance, Banking and Professional Services

sectors. Our experienced consultants are subject-matter experts and have developed

an extensive network of client and candidate contacts globally.

We strive to deliver the most exciting and challenging roles for our candidates.

Equally, we identify the highest calibre candidates for our clients, ensuring that both

the technical skills and cultural fit are aligned. Our consultants exploit modern and

effective networking processes that allow them to access talent which might not be

‘active’ in the market and therefore not registered with agencies.

Our focus, expertise and in-depth knowledge are integral to our success. To ensure

our clients receive an exceptional service, consultants are aligned to each sector

so they can develop an in-depth understanding of the market, current trends and

the available talent within them. Our proactive approach and comprehensive network

allow us to represent candidates we have worked with before with more certainty

than traditional recruitment firms.

“Eames Consulting have consistently delivered the solutions we need across a wide range of technical and senior roles within our various business units. They are one of the few firms who genuinely promote a search methodology to all briefs, whilst providing the speed of service more associated with the contingent market. Their growing global presence has also allowed us to take this partnership beyond the UK.”
