Who we are How we do it

Where do we do itWhat we do better

Oliver 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 instead of 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.

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.

From our offices in London, Manchester, Dublin, Zurich and Hong Kong we cover

the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe and Asia Pacific regions.

Testimonials

“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, profes-sional 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. HSBC Bank Plc/Travelers

“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 im-pressed with their knowledge of the insurance market and professionalism. They take the time to understand the culture of the hiring organisa-tion 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 flex-ibility to move with our needs, both in terms of keeping a regular dialogue regarding understand-ing 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 presurisse the individual involved.Head of Technical Provisioning. Lloyd’s Syndicate

“Its always been a pleasure working with Oliver James Associates. The consultants are profes-sional 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 know-ing 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 knowledgeable and professional; in particular they are keen to understand what you’re look-ing 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 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 results!

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
