About Us
Forging Industry Leaders & Empowering Careers Since 2013
At Eden James Consulting we are proud to deliver a consistent and continuous market leading recruitment service for Insurance & FS professionals and businesses and have done so since 2013, building and strengthening our reputation as an expert consultancy and trusted recruitment partner.
About Us
Why do we do this?
Through our passion for servicing our industry and clients to the highest levels, we have developed and implemented a unique in-house proprietary executive search system for any and all levels of hires, delivering an executive search level of service for all levels of hires & job seekers. We make it our business every day to understand the wants and needs of Cyber, Underwriting, Data Analytics, Operations and Technical professionals when it’s time to hire or find a new job in (re)insurance and financial services.
We understand that finding a new job can be life changing and finding the best talent that otherwise can’t be reached can be of infinite value and so Eden James Consulting embraces a culture of honesty, integrity and trust approaching the work that we do in a highly consultative way that adds infinite value to a client’s recruitment process and a candidate’s job search.
Our founders Miles & Jamie adopted a 24-step executive search methodology from their previous companies and have developed this into our own unique recruitment process called The Eden Ladder. We all know that candidates and clients are often treated like numbers at recruitment agencies and we never wanted to be like other recruitment agencies in this way. The Eden Ladder paired with our values, specialism and expertise is really what sets us apart.
We work closely as ambassadors to our clients and have a diverse portfolio of clients big, medium and small who we interact and maintain relationships with regularly. We manage an expansive network of professional candidates making it our business to know about the best of both the new and established talent within the industry.
Why Choose Us
What Makes Eden James Consulting Different?
Understanding the claims landscape
(Re)insurance & Financial Services are multi layered industries with geographical, political, technical, operational, legal, financial, and commercial differences. Our commitment is carefully matching the right technical, soft skills & attributes to the right position and employer by considering these multi layers in depth.
Communication
Communication & understanding in recruitment is key. Are you not understanding a candidate’s situation or motivations fully? Are you not being given enough support or feedback when you interview? Eden James Consulting is here to communicate and understand our clients & candidates. Building rapport, trust and enjoying the recruitment process together.
Confidentiality
Candidates & clients can be concerned with confidentiality when hiring or interviewing. Our markets are somewhat reputational based and news spreads rapidly. We ensure confidentiality for every candidate to protect your reputation and for every client to protect your interests.
Consultative Not Sales
Recruitment is known for high pressure sales. This interferes with client relationships by taking the focus away from headhunting, talent pool growth and developing our relationships long term. If you are our client we do not and will not attempt to recruit your staff. This ethos builds better relationships which benefits our candidates and their confidence to commit to the recruitment process. We focus on finding the best talent for our clients and the best jobs for our candidates day in day out.
Recruitment Specialist
Recruitment Agencies can cause clients and candidates frustration in their ability to really know their markets. Eden James Consulting is a true specialist in Cyber, Underwriting, Operational & Technical related appointments within the (re)insurance & FS markets. This removes the pain points for our clients and candidates who work with other agencies which are often not submitting the right candidates with the specific skill sets and are often not sharing the right job opportunities with the right candidates.
Money Talks
Transparency around salaries and expectations as well as hidden or withheld benefits really can make or break a job offer. We aim to fully understand the compensation and benefits offered by our clients as well as our candidates’ salary expectations and how they might measure up to the market. If you’re under paid or under paying we’ll tell you straight, if you’re over paid or over paying we’ll tell you straight.
No stone unturned
Concerns about a candidate’s skills gap, experience, personal attributes or cultural fit and concerns around an employer’s progression/development offering, culture, flexibility or quality of work are all issues that can and do crop up during a recruitment process. The problem is that these are often not revealed until the end of a process if at all. We strive to understand all and any concerns, questions or issues no matter how big or small from both the client and candidate perspective at the earliest opportunity possible. If these concerns can be alleviated, we alleviate them, if they cannot be alleviated then it might be the best decision for candidate and client to part ways.
Counter Offers
Counter offers can be heart sinking moments for all involved in a recruitment process. Is the risk of counter offer truly understood and addressed? You may touch on it at an interview or have a feeling but is it really ever broken down in an informative and honest way? We address the psychology and potential risk of counter offer for every candidate making an initial high, medium, low or nil assessment to reduce this as quickly as possible. Using specific questioning to try to understand and evaluate, but most importantly reduce the risk of a counter offer being accepted by our candidates. Ultimately, we cannot control how a human being makes a decision and will always apply an empathetic approach. What we do is ensure that we address, discuss and analyse counter offer risk in a human and professional way with every candidate we work with.
