Specialities

Find the specialist desk for your hiring challenge.

Our consultants work inside the functions they recruit for, not across all of financial services. Choose the practice closest to your hiring challenge and see the expertise behind it.

How we specialise

Organised by specialist desk, not by volume

Our consultants work within dedicated practices rather than across every role in financial services. Actuarial is the foundation the firm was built on, with deep capability across risk, analytics and audit, and further desks covering technology, consulting, underwriting, catastrophe modelling and leadership. Because each practice knows its own talent market, shortlists are quicker, technical assessment is sharper, and the people we put forward are more likely to join and stay.

Featured practices

Our deepest areas of expertise

The four practices clients engage us for most often, and where our technical assessment runs deepest.

Actuarial

Pricing, reserving, capital and IFRS 17 actuarial talent across life, general and health. The practice the firm was built on, and still where most client relationships begin.

Risk & Financial Advisory

Enterprise, quantitative, model and regulatory risk hiring. Helping banks, insurers and advisory firms build resilient risk functions as regulation keeps evolving.

Analytics

Data science, pricing and decision intelligence talent. For teams where commercial decisions increasingly depend on data rather than instinct.

Audit

Internal, IT and model audit, validation and assurance. Strengthening governance without slowing the business down.

Wider practices

Specialist practices across financial services

Alongside the core practices, we recruit across technology, underwriting, catastrophe modelling, consulting and leadership, so clients can build complete specialist teams through one partner.

Data Engineering & Cloud

Pipelines, platforms and cloud delivery talent.

IT & Technology

Engineering, product and technology leadership.

Leadership Hiring

Senior and board level appointments across BFSI.

Management Consulting

Strategy and advisory talent for financial services.

Underwriting & Claims

Underwriting, claims and portfolio expertise.

Catastrophe Modelling

Catastrophe modelling and exposure management.

One partner, many desks

Specialist desks that work together

No practice works in isolation. Actuarial and analytics sit close together, risk works alongside audit, and technology now runs through underwriting and operations. That is why many client relationships begin in one desk and grow across several.

Questions clients ask

Frequently asked questions

What does a specialist recruitment desk mean?

Each desk is a dedicated practice that recruits within one part of financial services, such as actuarial, risk, analytics or audit. The consultants know that talent market in depth, so shortlists are quicker and more accurate.

Which specialist desk should I choose?

Start with the practice closest to your hiring challenge. If your need sits across more than one area, choose the nearest desk or talk to us, and we will point the search at the right specialists.

What is the difference between specialities and industries?

Specialities are the functions we recruit for, such as actuarial or risk. Industries are the markets those functions sit in, such as insurance or banking. Many searches combine both, a function within an industry.

Can you help if a hire spans several practices?

Yes. Our practices work together, so one mandate can draw on more than one desk, and many client relationships begin in a single practice and grow across several.
