One month in, and what a start! Starting a new role always comes with excitement (and maybe a few nerves) but stepping into Eden James Consulting has been nothing short of rewarding.
As someone who has spent years placing candidates into new opportunities, it’s been eye-opening to be on the other side—experiencing the same transition, emotions, and growth that so many of my candidates go through. And I have to say, the past few weeks have flown by with ease!
Expanding My Recruitment Expertise
With a strong foundation in Technical Cyber Security and Data recruitment, I came in confident about helping clients secure top talent in these ever-evolving fields. But what has truly elevated this experience and made it so much more rewarding is the opportunity to expand into new areas within insurance recruitment. Thanks to Eden James Consulting’s expertise (and that of our sister company, Claims Recruitment Services), I’ve quickly gained valuable knowledge across Claims, Underwriting, and Actuarial recruitment.
This broader perspective has deepened my understanding of how businesses protect themselves—not just from cyber threats but from financial and operational risks as well. Seeing how Cyber Security, Claims, Underwriting, and Actuarial functions interconnect has reinforced the critical role talent plays in driving innovation and resilience in these industries.
A Warm Welcome and Meaningful Client Connections
One of the standout aspects of my first month? The incredible people. From day one, the Eden James team has made me feel truly welcomed and supported, creating a collaborative environment where I can thrive. It’s one thing to advise clients on best practices for onboarding new talent—but experiencing a smooth and seamless transition firsthand has been refreshing.
On top of that, I’ve had the pleasure of engaging with fantastic clients who are just as passionate about attracting and retaining top-tier talent as I am. These conversations have been insightful, and I’m excited to continue building long-term relationships based on trust, expertise, and shared success.
Looking Ahead
As I continue to settle into my role, my focus remains on delivering the highest calibre of recruitment support across Technical, Cyber Security, Data, Claims, Underwriting, and Actuarial roles. The hiring landscape is constantly shifting, and I’m committed to staying ahead of the curve to provide the best insights and solutions for my clients.
If you’re looking for specialised recruitment support across your Technical, Cyber Security, Data, Claims, Underwriting or Actuarial, I’d love to connect and see how I/we can help!
Let’s build a more secure future together.
