KSA understands that searching and advertising for
talent who suit your requirements can be a very time
consuming process which is often not cost effective for
your business.
Demand for individuals with the right insurance skills
has never been greater and more often than not,
these individuals are not actively searching for an
employment move.
Covering every aspect of (RE)Insurance, KSA
Recruitment Ltd will search our well established
talent pools and extensive network of contacts to
ensure we find the right person in order to meet your
requirements.
We know that the best way to fully meet your
requirements is to thoroughly understand you and your
company. After taking a brief, we invest a significant
amount of time into understanding not only the
vacancy requirements, but also your business needs
and company culture.
This process will be carried out by your account
manager, along with the help and support of the KSA
team who all work together to ensure the needs of our
clients are always met. This guarantees an efficient
and friendly service throughout.
We search through our extensive database of
candidates and advertise anonymously through a wide
range of avenues including the top job boards, social
media and networking. Many of our most successful
placements are the result of personal referrals from
within our network.
Our company ethos is to ensure we deliver quality not
quantity and we will not engage you with candidates
unless we are confident they will suit your needs.
By proactively tailoring recruitment needs, we make
sure that we provide the very highest quality of service.
We have dedicated, loyal and experienced consultants
working as part of a team. We work tirelessly to
ensure our knowledge of the marketplace remains
current so you will benefit from the extensive network

CHARLENE G – LONDON MARKET ACCOUNT
EXECUTIVE
“I had the pleasure of using KSA Recruitment’s services
when Kirk saw my details on an employment search
website. The search for a new job can very daunting.
Kirk was fantastic and helpful, he listened to what I
wanted and helped me find my dream job. Kirk was very
supportive and provided a lot of guidance throughout the
various stages. From looking for what suited my needs,
theinterviews,mynoticeperiodandthenstartingmyjob.
The main thing with me is that I could not speak during
the day as I was at work, so they were very flexible with
the times that we spoke and always very reliable. If they
said they would do something then they would. I cannot
thank KSA Recruitment enough for the absolutely
superb service I received. I would strongly recommend
KSA Recruitment’s services”
GRAHAM P – PRODUCING BROKER
“KSA took the time to understand my requirements to
ensure I was put forward for a role which enabled me to
take my career in the direction I was hoping.
they communicated with me throughout the process
of changing position, which led to a simple, stress-free
switch without complication.
I was impressed with the service KSA offered and have
subsequently recommended another colleague to use
KSA in sourcing a new position.
MARK B - UNDERWRITER
“When dealing with KSA, Kirk worked above and beyond
in helping me find and get the role I was looking for first
time. He was very professional and kept a constant
communication with me, so I knew exactly what was
happening and as I was working to a tight deadline due
to moving he was able to advise how to help speed up my
recruitment process. In future I would not hesitate to use
the service again or recommend them to others.”
JASON W – PRICING ANALYST
“I was contacted by KSA via LinkedIn with a connection
request. I had been looking for a new job for about
a month so accepted their request. Kirk emailed me
almost immediately with details of a job that I might be
interested in. We spoke at lunchtime the same day, and
organised an interview for the following day. I was very
nervous and told Kirk this on the morning of the interview
and he sent me back the most amazing, encouraging and
thoughtful email which built my confidence. I went along
to the interview in my lunch hour and had a job offer by
the end of the day.
Kirk have been amazing throughout the whole process,
kept me informed at all times and still continue to offer
support and advise while I work my notice period. To
have a job within 36 hours of connecting with KSA via
Linked in was outstanding. Since dealing with Kirk and
KSA Recruitment I have recommended their services to
many people and will continue to do so. “
RAY F – ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
“I registered with KSA Recruitment in January 2014
and dealt with Kirk Stannett. From the outset Kirk was
helpful, informative and extremely professional. He took
on board exactly what I was looking for and I felt he made
a great effort in my search for alternative employment.
When he informed me of the position with RA Insurance
I was extremely interested and agreed for Kirk to submit
my details. He then arranged discussions and subsequent
interviews, and I was offered the role in March 2014.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank KSA
Recruitment, in particular Kirk, for his efforts in finding
my new role. I thoroughly enjoy my work, in my eyes he
found me the perfect job!”

and removes a lot of the obstacles faced when finding
the best talent in the market!
Kirk was Professional, efficient, and most importantly

time to listen to my requirements, Kirk offered a short but
good range of options and then listened to my feedback
whilst remaining objective and offering other solutions.
I’d thoroughly recommend Kirk and KSA Recruitment to
anyone who is currently recruiting.”

great people.”

for potential Appointed Representatives we decided to
work with a small number of independent Recruitment

from the day we started working with them, KSA have
showngreatenergyandenthusiasm,workingcloselywith
