Specialist Actuarial & Risk Recruitment

Actuarial & Risk Recruitment. Led by Industry Experience.

Specialist search and recruitment delivered by people who understand the roles, the market and the technical detail behind every hire.

Hire Talent For Candidates

Our Advantage

More Than CV Matching

Traditional recruitment often relies on keywords and job descriptions. At Apollon Partners, candidates are assessed by people who understand the work itself.

We understand the difference between Capital, Reserving, Pricing, Pensions, Investments and Risk functions, the technical requirements behind each role, and the environment in which these professionals operate.

This allows us to present fewer, more relevant candidates — and to have more credible conversations with both clients and professionals.

Our Approach

Why Apollon Partners

01

Technical Understanding

We know the difference between a reserving analyst and a capital actuary, and between a first-line and second-line risk role.

02

Quality Over Volume

We work a small number of mandates at a time, and only present candidates we believe are genuinely suitable.

03

Confidential Search

Every conversation, on both sides of the market, is handled with discretion.

04

Long-Term Relationships

We aim to build relationships that outlast a single placement, not transactions that end at offer stage.

About

Recruitment Built on Genuine Industry Experience

Apollon Partners was founded on a simple premise: recruitment in Actuarial and Risk should be led by people who have worked in these functions, not by generalists working from a job description.

We understand the difference between a reserving analyst and a capital actuary, between a first-line risk role and a second-line control function, and between technical competence and genuine strategic fit. That understanding shapes every search we run.

We are not a volume-based agency. We work a small number of mandates at any time, take the time to understand each requirement in detail, and only present candidates we believe are genuinely suitable.

How We Work

A Deliberately Small Number of Mandates

The mechanics of a search are covered on our Executive Search page. What matters more is the judgement behind it.

—

The Requirement Comes First

We start with the mechanics of the role, not a job description forwarded to a database.

—

Technical Judgement Throughout

Candidates are assessed against the real technical and regulatory demands of the role.

—

Fewer, Better Matches

We'd rather present two genuinely suitable candidates than ten plausible ones.

—

Engaged Beyond the Offer

We stay involved through notice period and onboarding, not just to signature.
