Equity is not just about who you hire. It is about how you reach people, how you communicate with them, and how you prepare them. And Automated Intelligent Recruitment naturally embodies all three. It doesn’t start at the interview. It starts the moment someone hears from you. When equality is on an organisations radar, there […]
Our signature bespoke customised candidate pack, and how it makes our clients really stand out from the crowd. Here’s why that matters for everyone. Confident, informed candidates don’t happen by accident. And when they walk through your door, it says something about you too. Strong candidates do their research. But not everything they need is […]
As recruiters, we talk a lot about working more closely with our clients. Truly understanding their ongoing needs and helping to reduce the workload in their internal talent teams. Being a genuine extension of how they hire, rather than a vendor they call when something is urgent. The problem is that traditional recruitment models make […]

But as budgets expand, the real question isn’t […]
This year, I’ve been entrusted with two of the most high-stakes leadership searches in the London and global claims market: Both searches were retained. Both clients knew that “the normal way” — handing the role to an already stretched in-house team or scattering it across multiple agencies — would never deliver the calibre of shortlist […]
It’s been a busy summer for me, with my eldest son finishing University and the other his A levels. We’ve had lots of BBQs with family and friends, kayaking and fishing trips to Cornwall and a lot of tennis and golf (more practice required here!). As summer fades away and the evenings draw in, for […]
At Claims Recruitment Services, we often get asked by Claims Managers, Talent leaders, and Claims Professionals: “Can you provide salary benchmarking for Claims Professionals in this class of business?” “What are Property Claims Managers currently being paid?” “If I were to move into a Senior Claims Adjuster role at another company, what salary should I […]
Last month we said goodbye to our Operations Manager Joe Winchcombe, who has been an invaluable member of the team for almost a decade. He is off travelling to the US, and then on to new adventures, and we wish him the best of luck for all of his future endeavours. CRS / EJC would […]
We’ve already seen some great tennis tournaments this season and I for one am looking forward to Wimbledon, which is just around the corner now! Wimbledon isn’t just about dazzling serves – it’s a game of precision, adaptability, and risk management, much like underwriting. Reading the Game Tennis players study their opponents; Underwriters analyse financial […]

1997 was a big year for a number of different reasons. Tony Blair was elected Prime Minister of the UK. The first Harry Potter book was published. And two former colleagues decided to set up a small online DVD rental service in California, settling on the name Netflix. On April 15th of that year, the insurance […]
In 2023 I had a realisation; our business had far outgrown how we presented ourselves digitally. Our website and logo were living in the early 2010’s and how we get our values and message across online weren’t too far behind this dragging its heels! Our rebrand is so much more than just a new website […]
Late September 2023 turned the clock to a ten-year tenure for Jamie Thomson at Claims Recruitment Services. Jamie was the first employee of the business joining Miles Eden, the founder shortly after he set up the business. Jamie trained under Miles at their previous company Mansion House for just under a year before joining. Jamie […]

With the rise of ransomware attacks, businesses and individuals are facing a new and complex threat to their digital security. However, the UK insurance industry is not sitting idly by.

Counter offers. What are they? To put it plainly, it is “An offer made in response to another offer.” Like when you are selling a car or a house and the buyer offers a price which you reject. You would then suggest a new price. In a recruitment setting, it’s when an employer offers a […]
