WHO WE ARE
3. WHAT WE DO
Our success is founded on our people. We are an organisation of truly specialist
recruiters, who embed themselves in their vertical markets, enabling them to operate
as subject matter experts.
Working exclusively across the insurance, banking, financial services and professional
services markets, our technical knowledge and research-led approach is what makes
us different.
Each of our divisions is run by highly specialised consultants who forge long-term
relationships and network extensively, without relying purely on databases and
advertising. As a result, we are able to offer more precise, bespoke recruitment
solutions whether that be sourcing niche skills, finding talent in challenging
geographies or handling senior or confidential assignments.

5. “
Matthew Eames, Founder, Group CEO
”
I founded Eames Consulting Group in 2002 with a very clear vision. It was to become the leading
recruitment and search firm in our chosen specialist markets, whilst delivering an exceptional customer
experience to our candidates and clients.
At the moment we are seeing large database driven firms operating at the more junior end of the
market, and search entities focusing on 'C' suite appointments. This leaves an opportunity in the mid to
senior layers, which we occupy. It allows us to deliver a seamless, consultative approach to human
capital needs, offering the most appropriate methodology without being constrained by capability.
We work in true partnership with our clients, offering a high level of service supported by market
leading research. As such we have enjoyed consistent growth, even during the recent economic
uncertainty, and importantly have gained an impressive and loyal client and candidate following.
2014 was an important year for us as a business, exceeding £20million in turnover, more than doubling
our number of contractors, being recognised for the 4th consecutive year in the Recruiter Hot 100- a
list of the UK’s fastest growing recruitment companies, launching Finance and Wealth Management
divisions, and opening our third international office in Hong Kong. As we kick off 2015 on a real
high-note, we are still focused on bringing quality talent into the business to join us on our journey.

It was the one agency that recognised that it takes all sorts to
make a successful business. Ex-industry professionals learning
recruitment work alongside more traditional sales people and

develop your own style and achieve success in many different
ways.
