ACTUARIAL & PRICING
Overview of the market
We have seen continued demand across General Insurance for the recruitment of Actuaries.
The market has been quite similar to 2024, due to the fact that a very high percentage of the
roles have been at the Nearly/Newly qualified level and a small amount of roles at the
senior/ head of level. Pricing experience has continued to be of high priority for Actuarial
functions throughout the year. In the second half of 2025 we saw an increased demand for
the recruitment of individuals who are focused on Reserving and Capital and would say that
2025 has been equally as busy across all 3 verticals.
Within the world of recruitment for Actuaries, clients are constantly looking to hire top talent
and will always be open to being presented with high quality profiles. If you are an Actuary
that is open to exploring new opportunities, there will always be a vast array of companies
that would be interested in speaking to you further.
The year 2025 was a difficult one in terms of the hiring of individuals with an Actuarial focus.
Firstly, this has been caused by the fact that Actuarial teams have been very specific in what
they are wanting to hire and have not been as flexible/creative as in previous years,
meaning a lot of roles have continued to stay live until the client has found exactly the right
profile to match the requirements. Secondly, in terms of the Actuaries that are wanting to
make a move, we would say there has again been a reduced number actively searching for
new roles. A big factor that has caused both of these is the economic climate, with both
parties being wary of making a move either way.
