• Providing salary and market benchmarking to support offers and workforce planning


• Reporting on pipeline health, sourcing channels and shortlist diversity

What you'll bring

• Experience in talent research, sourcing or executive search research, either in-house or agency-side


• Knowledge of insurance or wider financial services


• Strong Boolean and LinkedIn Recruiter skills


• Confidence approaching senior, passive candidates discreetly


• Strong organisation and attention to detail

Knowledge of the London Market, Lloyd's or specialty lines is essential
