An Actuary who helps other Actuaries achieve their career goals. I have 14 years experience working in Industry and in Recruitment as a Director of Acumen Resources. Acumen Resources is a Dublin based actuarial recruitment agency founded over 20 years ago. I build relationships with people based on trust and respect and I treat all my clients fairly. Privileged to work with candidates from Graduate level right up to Executive on a range of roles across all actuarial practice areas. I am happy to hear from actuaries who are unsure where their career direction is taking them and are looking for advice on the next step in their career. Changing company isn’t always the answer and aiding companies with retention and career planning for their actuaries is also an important part of my role. For those hoping to change roles, I provide CV and Interview advice, including video recorded mock interviews. The feedback I receive on interview preparation and seeing the benefit this brings is most rewarding. I am an active member of a number of Society of Actuaries in Ireland (SAI) Committees including Recent Qualifiers, Wider Fields and Diversity. I also contributed to the SAI 2014 to 2017 Strategy Plan. I can be contacted on +35316099409 or jenny@acumen-resources.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
