SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT BENEFITS ADVISORY CALCULATED THEY NEEDED A SENIOR ACTUARY

THE CLIENT

A Northwestern multi-office Retirement company found itself looking into the not-so-distant future where the CEO would be seeking to retire himself. A new President had to be found now and prepared for the eventual takeover of this 100-person firm in a few years’ time.

THE ROLE

Initially managing an office of 20, the new hire would require the Senior actuarial skills to do the job needed now while also possessing the leadership skills and passion to lead this growing organization of over 100 employees that prided itself on a ‘no policy’ culture.

THE CHALLENGE

Before Rhodes Wolfe got involved an offer was made and the candidate ‘no-showed’ for the start of this high-level role. Devasting for any search but especially troubling for this leadership position. The firm needed a hire, fast.

HOW RHODES WOLFE PARTNERED

After an extensive intake call, Rhodes Wolfe immediately implemented a national search to find the rare matches to both the technical skills required along with the leadership qualities that eventually would be most important. We began both extensive cold outreach and advertising across the US for this senior role. Given the extremely specific requirements for this role, cold outreach was expected to be the most effective effort.

RHODES WOLFE RESULTS

Cold outreach to passive candidates led to several candidates being presented and the actual hire was identified and presented in less than two months from the intake call.
