Our Process

“We have worked with the SR team on several searches with excellent results. In particular, their ability to understand the culture of our firm and the personalities involved means the candidates they select are likely to be a good fit for the business. The team are also a pleasure to work with; responsive, professional and good-humored which makes the process of recruiting an enjoyable challenge to get the best people for the role”.

“When you partner with a search firm the expectation is that the candidate and hiring manager experience are both equally balanced for both sides. Knowing how to get that balance is an art, as is applying the technical insurance acumen and the emotional intelligence to move senior people through the process. The SR team proved very adept at this and proved invaluable in securing a much-wanted candidate for us.”

“Honest feedback loop Match roles to great candidates Find best culture fit!”

“Stephens Rickard have provided outstanding insight and execution in searching for a variety of senior executives on behalf of insurance, reinsurance and intermediary companies that I have worked for over the last decade. The truly differentiating quality that SR delivers comes from two sources. Firstly, their nuanced understanding of the rapidly evolving global (Re)Insurance sector and consequently their awareness of skills and expertise required from the talent pool. Secondly, their expansive professional network and ability to connect like-minded people to solve problems. The combination of these qualities has yielded unparalleled results in comparison to other search firms and is the reason that I use them exclusively for senior executive recruitment, whether to attract high-quality teams or find uniquely qualified candidates”.

“I’ve worked with SR as both a Client and a Candidate and found they make equal efforts to support in both roles. They have always made the time to share their expertise and open their networks.”

“Despite having no prior experience with SR, I contacted the team following a recommendation from a former colleague. Their understanding of the sector, professionalism, and honesty meant there was immediate trust. I felt they managed my expectations. They went out of their way to support me as I looked for a role, facilitating helpful introductions and advising me on how best to go about my search. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others or use them as a search partner in the future.”

“We have now worked with the SR team on several searches. Whether functional roles or lines of business we are always impressed by their understanding of the market.”
