Our consulting angle
Consultants who know the sector, not just the slides
Consulting hiring rewards a recruiter who understands both sides: the problem solving and structure that consulting demands, and the domain the consultant will work in. A risk consultant in a financial services practice, a transformation consultant in an insurer, a strategy consultant serving banks, each needs more than generic consulting polish; they need real understanding of the sector. That is where our specialist depth helps.
We are honest about where this practice sits. It is a focused area we are growing, not one of our largest desks, and we would rather do a smaller number of consulting searches well than claim a scale we do not have. Our strongest angle is capability centre transformation, helping organisations build and reshape their global capability centres, because that is where our consulting work meets the capability centre depth we are genuinely known for.
The consulting roles we recruit
Where our domain knowledge is strongest
From strategy and transformation through to the specialist consulting that draws on risk, insurance and operations expertise.
Strategy and transformation consulting
Strategy consultants and transformation specialists who help financial services organisations set direction and deliver large scale change, combining structured problem solving with the ability to make change actually happen, from consultant to engagement leadership.
Risk and insurance consulting
Consultants who bring risk, insurance and regulatory expertise to advisory work, the people who sit at the meeting point of our risk and advisory depth and the consulting world. A natural area for us.
Capability centre transformation
The fastest growing part of this practice, and where we are strongest: consultants who help organisations build and transform global capability centres, from operating model design and shared services to the operations excellence work that turns a centre into a genuine centre of excellence.
Operations and process consulting
Operations, process and operating model consultants who help financial services firms and their capability centres run better, redesign processes, and improve how functions work.
Project and business analysis
The project management and business analysis roles that turn consulting strategy into delivery: project managers, business analysts and the delivery roles between advice and execution, often where consulting meets technology and change.
Consulting leadership
Senior consulting roles, including practice and engagement leadership within consultancies and in house advisory functions. Confidential, senior searches connecting to our leadership hiring work.
Why specialist consulting hiring is different
Domain depth is the honest edge
Consulting recruitment is full of people who can present well and structure a problem, and that matters. But in financial services consulting, the consultants who deliver are the ones who also understand the sector: the regulation, the risk, the way insurers, banks and consultancies actually work. A consultant who has to learn the domain from scratch on every engagement is slower and less credible than one who already knows it.
Because we recruit so deeply across actuarial, risk, analytics and audit, we understand the domains consultants work in, and we know the people who move between consulting and industry in these fields. That is our honest edge in consulting hiring: not the largest consulting desk in the market, but a specialist one that knows the sector the consultant will serve.
Who we serve, and how we assess
Polish, and whether they can actually deliver
We hire for consultancies serving financial services, insurers and banks building in house advisory and transformation capability, and capability centres taking on consulting style and transformation work. In consulting it is easy to be impressed by polish and miss whether someone can actually deliver in the domain. We assess both the consulting capability and the real sector understanding, alongside fit, before any profile reaches you. That discipline is why our placements last: we screen at an 80 per cent rate and our candidates join at an 85 per cent rate, and since 2014 we have had to return fewer than fifteen fees.
Founder led
Shagun Gupta
Founder, stays close to the specialist work
EliteRecruitments is led by its founder, Shagun Gupta, who built the firm out of actuarial and stays close to the specialist work across the practice. Consulting hiring sits closely alongside our risk and financial advisory practice, which Somya Aggarwal leads, because much consulting demand in financial services is risk, transformation and advisory work, so contact routes to Shagun and Somya. So when you talk to us about a role here, you reach people who understand the work and the market for it, not a generalist passing on a brief.
