Testimonials

Upon transitioning to an actuarial career, Paul provided me with relevant job recommendations and excellent career advice, in conjunction with interview- and CV-feedback. Not only this, but the time frame he achieved for this transition was exceptional: within acouple weeks of signing up to Acumen Resources, I signed a contract. I therefore highly recommend Paul and Acumen Resources.

I am very happy with Acumen Resources in helping me find a good fit within the actuarial job market in Ireland. It is often very hard to find options while looking for starting positions especially with no prior insurance business experience. However, Paul and Jenny provided the right expertise to put my best foot forward. I was not only able to secure multiple interviews with very good companies but also find the best fit for me. Post successful interviews, they also helped me with work permit applications. I definitely recommend Acumen Resources for anyone who is looking for new actuarial opportunities within Ireland.

Paul provides a consistently excellent service with detailed knowledge of the market, great access to potential candidates and a very thorough approach. He is extremely professional and ensures a positive recruitment experience.

Paul is a highly professional and discreet search executive whounderstands the needs of actuaries and clients, being a qualifiedActuary himself. His real talent lies in being able to identify andsource commercial and entrepreneurial skills beyond the traditionalactuarial skill set, placing senior executives in key roles within the industry.

“Jenny, as well as being very pleasant to deal with, is highly professional, honest and effective. She is always enthusiastic and provided regular updates and feedback to me during the recruitment process. I believe the interview preparation and mock interview I did with Jenny were fundamental to securing the position I wanted. I would definitely use Acumen again and would recommend Jenny to anybody looking for a new role.”

James Callinan, Actuarial Analyst - Project LESS at MetLife

I recently relocated to Ireland and Jenny assisted me with my search for a suitable position. She was incredible throughout the process – both during the search and in the period leading up to my arrival. I found her knowledge of the industry excellent and the assistance / guidance she gave me for interview preparation was at a level I have not experienced to date.

Through his contacts in a diverse set of industries, Paul gave methe opportunity to expand my career into wider fields.

Jenny is a rare example of someone in the recruitment circles who actually cares for the candidates she’s pitching – she’s always got the best advice, and I’m hard pressed to actually think of any of the numerous interviews she got me where she didn’t make it a point to call me within moments after my interview was scheduled to be over – that’s just how concerned she genuinely is. Its especially great when you’re searching for graduate or near-graduate opportunities, even more so as an international candidate, and its extremely reassuring to come across an established professional who actually puts so much effort into fresh grads – she was always available to talk me through what changes my CV needed, or what to expect in an interview, or just getting insight about the actuarial industry in general. She has been absolutely instrumental in my search for a great job – just the sheer number of interviews she managed to get me was quite something, and I really cannot thank her enough for all the effort that she put in with me – and I’m confident that if I’m ever looking for an opportunity again, Jenny’s the one I’ll go up to, as should anyone else looking for a role in the actuarial market. She certainly has my highest commendation!

I’ve worked with Jenny for many years and have found her to be anexcellent and knowledgeable recruitment partner. She ispersonable, friendly, accountable and trustworthy. I would have nohesitation in personally recommending Jenny and look forward toworking with her again in the future

Having an actuarial background, Paul understands the technical requirements of actuarial roles and desirable career paths. This speeds up the recruitment process as Paul is able to match up potential roles with the individual.

Jenny has been a great support to me. She herself being an Actuary makes a lot of difference as she knows what role suits one the best. I can never thank her enough for all the help that she has given me in securing my position with Willis Towers Watson. She was there with me at every stage and guided me throughout as to what is good for me. While interacting with Jenny I realised how kind and helpful she is and am very glad to have met her.

“If I was looking for a new role myself or looking to hire a person into my organisation, Paul would be the 1st person I’d call to help.”

Patrick Grealy, SVP Pricing and Portfolio Mgt at Multi-Strat Re Ltd.

Paul and Jenny and the team at Acumen-Resources did a great job sourcing and arranging multiple candidates for a number of our actuarial vacancies over a limited time period. Getting so much done so quickly was a great boost to our recruitment activity and success.

Paul did an excellent job for Deloitte sourcing high quality actuarial candidates within a short timeframe to meet our growing business needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul. Paul actively listened to our needs and found us the right people to meet them.

“Jenny is very honest, professional and hard working person. She was always available for advice and was very pleasant to deal with. Jenny helped me in finding the perfect job I was looking. It was pleasure working with her. I definitely recommend Jenny and Acumen to anyone looking for new role.”

Diarmuid Costello, Director Actuarial Internal Audit (Europe)

Jenny is nothing short of a lifesaver. I had the pleasure of meeting Jenny at a seminar organised by Acumen resources in University College Cork while I was pursuing my Masters. As a recent Actuarial graduate with no prior work experience in the field I was really struggling with the mammoth task of finding a job in Ireland. I got in touch with Jenny regarding the same and she was extremely supportive throughout the process – from sending out job applications to interview prep. Jenny has a very thorough understanding of the Actuarial market requirements and provided me with resources that helped me gain a better understanding of the level of research that I needed, to put forth a strong job application. When I received a call from Jenny post my first job interview, I remember thinking that she is someone who genuinely cares about your job application. For someone who is looking for a job in the domain, Jenny is undoubtedly your best bet and has my heartfelt recommendation.
