"By far the best actuarial recruitment service in Ireland. Actuaries looking after actuaries is the key and it sets Acumen apart from other recruiters. Jenny is a complete professional - prompt, efficient and thorough. Offering me fantastic support and expertise throughout the process, I could trust Jenny completely. Huge thank you to Jenny and Acumen. Highly recommend."
"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."
"Paul is a highly professional and discreet search executive who understands the needs of actuaries and clients, being a qualified Actuary himself. His real talent lies in being able to identify and source commercial and entrepreneurial skills beyond the traditional actuarial skill set, placing senior executives in key roles within the industry."
"Acumen Resources has consistently been the first point of contact when looking for actuarial roles in Ireland since 2016. Both Jenny and Paul are extremely knowledgeable about the job market and very professional. Unlike other recruiters they take the time to understand the roles I am looking for and only recommend those that meet my requirements. Cannot recommend highly enough."
"Thanks to Jenny for helping me secure my new role. She has supported me with interviews and applications since my college internship days, and has always been quick to respond, helpful, and professional. Her knowledge of the industry and guidance throughout the process made interviews feel much easier and gave me a lot more confidence. I really appreciate all her support and would highly recommend her."
"Jennifer gives annual talks on interview skills and careers advice for students on UCD's MSc Actuarial Science and Graduate Diploma Actuarial Science programmes. She is an engaging and informative speaker and the students always enjoy and benefit from her contribution in both the short and longer term. She has extensive and detailed knowledge of the actuarial sector in Dublin and beyond and is passionate about her work."
"I owe Paul & Jenny my greatest gratitude! After 10 years abroad I knew Acumen were the only actuarial recruiter to find me my dream job on my return to Ireland. Paul and Jenny did not disappoint and were very attentive and helped me exceed my own initial job and salary expectations. My interview skills were pretty rusty so they provided a mock interview and constructive feedback to help me succeed. If you are seeking a change, Acumen Resources are the number 1 choice."
"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."
"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."
"I was looking out for a job in Ireland and during this search I came across Jenny. She was extremely helpful. She not only helped me with my resume but also proactively applied to all the vacancies which would be a great fit for me as an actuarial professional. She was professional and also guided me on preparing for my interviews. Had it not been for her, I would probably still be looking for a job right now. I am extremely grateful to her and would highly recommend her. She would make sure you get placed at a job which perfectly fits your profile. I would also like to mention Paul who contributed to helping me in my search. Jenny and Paul make a great team. So if you are looking out for a job, just give them a call. Thank you, Jenny."
"My experience with Acumen Resources was amazing. I mainly worked with Jenny Johnston, who was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Jenny took the time to understand my CV, experience, and the type of roles I was looking for. She then shared several positions that matched my background and stayed in regular contact with me. Through her support, I managed to secure my first interview after only a few applications, and she was always checking in to see how things were progressing. Throughout the interviews, negotiations, and contract process, Jenny acted as the main link between me and the company. She was always quick to respond and extremely patient, even though my employment negotiations took longer than usual because of visa-related issues. I will always be thankful for Jenny's support, and I am very grateful to her and Acumen Resources for helping me secure this opportunity. I highly recommend having a casual conversation with their team. I am confident they will take the time to understand your needs and provide all the support they can."
"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!"
