Bucking the trend with Graduate recruitment of Actuaries in Northern Ireland and Scotland

Whilst many graduates are bearing the brunt of the economic downturn and struggling to find graduate positions as most organisations have either cut or put a freeze on graduate recruitment, actuaries Spence & Partners are bucking the trend. To meet the continued expansion of their business and to grow a strong talent pool for the future, the business recently recruited seven graduates to work in their offices in Belfast and Glasgow. Providing career opportunities in actuarial, pension consultancy and administration, our graduates are supported through professional studies in their chosen post graduate field and our aim is to provide interesting and worthwhile careers for all our people. Liz Fergusson, a director of Spence & Partners commented “as a progressive actuarial and pension consultancy practice, Spence & Partners recognises the need to recruit and nurture the most talented individuals. Our mix of work provides challenging objectives; our people are encouraged to challenge the status quo, be creative thinkers and have a “can do” attitude”.
