Smarter Models for Pensions Recruitment
Smarter Models for Pensions Recruitment
One thing has become crystal clear: pensions recruitment isn’t just a challenge, it’s a constant strain.
At Zatori, we’ve spent years listening closely to the teams behind some of the UK’s most important pension consultancies and pension funds. One thing has become crystal clear: recruitment isn’t just a challenge, it’s a constant strain.
We know the pressures you’re under. The sector has evolved rapidly, but support from traditional pensions recruitment agencies hasn’t kept pace. Here’s what we hear time and again:
- You’re expected to hire well but without dedicated pensions-specific hiring expertise.
- Pension recruitment agencies costs are high, unpredictable and are hard to justify.
- You can’t afford to get it wrong, but the 'recruitment' is pulling fee earners away from what they do best.
- When you finally engage a pensions recruitment agency, you get mixed results as competition for the candidates is high and the pensions recruiter sends the candidate to multiple firms (not just you)
- You hire like-for-like replacements because it's logical and easy rather than having a people strategy tailored to the pensions talent pool available
- Your brand is on the line every time a candidate has a poor experience.
- Scaling? That just makes things harder.
You’re not alone. These problems are common in the world of pensions recruitment but they aren’t unsolvable.
Walking in Your Shoes
We’ve worked in pensions recruitment long enough to know your world. We don’t just understand the job specs, we consult and advise the major funds and consultancies on hiring strategy, how to communicate employee value proposition and ultimately, what they can do to attract and retain top talent.
Our delivery models have taken time, thought and dedication to build. They aren't the traditional bum on a seat type of delivery you might have experienced from pensions recruitment agencies, they're designed to provide real insight into the pensions market, strategic talent acquisition consulting and proven search processes.
Whether you're a pension fund, consultancy or in-house team, we can help you solve the real recruitment challenges, not just fill roles (although we do that to!)
- Want to hire one person as a project? That’s no problem, we can.
- Need to reduce agency spend without losing quality? We’ve built a model that delivers year after year.
- Looking for a fractional internal recruitment service? We have specialists who do exactly that.
We deliver recruitment services tailored to the complexities of pensions. That includes specialist hiring strategies for hard-to-fill roles, better candidate experience that protects your brand, and flexible support that works whether you’re scaling or stabilising.
The result?
You get a trusted pensions recruiter who acts as a real extension of your team who are great at solving problems, not creating new ones.
