Paul Hardcastle
I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan as an expert in his field. His knowledge and experience in the industry shine through when he is tackling the task of recruiting for MetLife. Ryan was the first point of contact I had through the company recruitment process. He was professional, highly engaged, makes you feel at ease and provided all the information needed. He always updates on the latest situation and answers (or finds out the answers) to all the questions you have. Overall, he is a great ambassador for MetLife and one who creates the environment and great impressions of MetLife, which are all true! If you need to speak to someone about the roles at MetLife, speak to Ryan!

I worked with Ryan for 1.5 years or so at Jigsaw and was impressed with his ability to match the requirements of clients with the skills, experience and requirements of candidates. Ryan built up a very good understanding of the insurance claims and legal markets in a short space of time and worked hard to fulfil the brief for each client. He has a great personality and interacted brilliantly with clients and candidates alike. I was very impressed with Ryan’s adaptability and he was always willing to recruit for any role, even if the specifics were outside his immediate knowledge. Ryan is brimming with enthusiasm in all that he does and is also a lot of fun to work with. Recruitment is a people business and Ryan is without doubt a great people person. I know he’ll be a huge success in his new role.

Recruitment Manager - Insurance, Reinsurance & Legal Services

Jun 2016 - Dec 2018
Our core services are underpinned by our insight into insurance companies and law firms. Both offer a diverse range of career opportunities for ambitious legal and insurance professionals. We are recruitment specialists working for dynamic insurers, reinsurers, brokers, managing general agents, TPAs, self-insureds and law firms helping them attract and recruit the talent they need to succeed. We go further than simply recruiting for individual roles and offer support and advice to clients on long-term resourcing and talent attraction strategy. This includes working with in-house recruitment teams to ensure our services are only called upon when absolutely necessary. That’s why we stand out. As claims experts, the Directors also provide management consultancy services to the insurance and legal sectors. We undertake strategic, operational and technical handling reviews for innovative insurers, reinsurers and law firms who want to assess existing claims handling competence and seek ideas for improving their business performance.
