Proactive employer? We'll give you instant access to the best people & we'll do all the heavy lifting, so you don't have to. We'll happily sit down with you to explore your medium to long-term business plans so we make strategic hires

Why us

Happenstance. We were lucky. We fell into this career which has given us so many good-times & so many great friends. It's a fantastic career & we want others to have what we've enjoyed this past five decades. The snag? Well, when it comes to hiring, there are lots of idiosyncrasies within the market & we've lived through them all. We know the right people & we make your hiring & job searching less stressful & more productive

What
do
we
offer?

We want to be the most innovative & conscientious reinsurance recruiter around. We do this by continually building a talent pool of employable people like you & we keep in regular contact, so you know what's going on in your market. Because we promote talent pool members to employers, you won't miss an opportunity to develop your career, regardless of whether you're employed or not

Hiring someone is a big deal & we understand how much it means to employ someone who fits culturally & who surpasses your expectations in the job. We know you don't want to make a mistake as it wastes time, energy, money, delays success & outwardly projects unprofessionalism to your peers

promise

 

Promise

We mix years of knowledge with data, contacts & know-how to get us to the right people. Unlike other recruitment firms, we only actively promote pool members. We don't send out blanket emails, we don't do mass-marketing. Our hiring process is strategic & methodical

We want you as a candidate & you as a hirer to be satisfied with the outcome & so we practice continual dialogue, transparency, clear advice & direction. We act on your behalf & nobody else's

We love that no-one is the same & we have long believed that strength lies in being different & not in being clones of one another. Whatever your quirk, we'll have seen it, so get in touch!

The Toucans

Lucian chiroiu

"Being valued at work is so very important for your career journey"

I’ve worked in reinsurance for the last twenty years (I’m much younger than Marco!). My first job was on the catastrophe modelling side & then I moved to broking & lastly, to underwriting where I've worked for the last fifteen years.

 

Over time, I’ve met many interesting people, had many exciting experiences & learnt a multitude of things along the way. Most importantly, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working in the reinsurance world. Having been in London, Zurich & Paris, reinsurance has given me different experiences both culturally, spiritually & environmentally.

 

We are beginning a new chapter in life because we want to you find your dream job. Something which suits your personality, capabilities & skillsets. Somewhere where you'll find you're a valued member of a team. We’re so excited to begin Toucan & we’ll do our utmost to make sure you enjoy your reinsurance life as much as we have

"You spend half your life working, you should try to make it both interesting & rewarding"

I've worked for thirty years in reinsurance, travelled the wrold, met great people & it's allowed me to work in places like London, Paris & Bermuda.

 

I've always tried to move jobs when I feel a bit bored as I like to continually learn. I'm curious by nature & this is where reinsurance comes in, as it is always interesting.

 

I'd wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for a new adventure to be bold & choose something outside of their comfort zone. Lucian & I started this company to guide talented people into a job that they'll suit, that they'd be good at & a job that they'll enjoy whilst succeeding. Reinsurance has allowed my wife, daughter & I to live an interesting life & hopefully we can do this for you as well.

“I met with Marco from Toucan & we chatted about my sitiuation & aspirations. as he has worked in the industry for more than 30 years, marco is best placed to give me valuable advice. marco selectively suggested roles which suited me & matched my goals. He found me the right role, managed the interview process & acted as a great whatsapp sounding board through the whole process. i am very happy to have been represented by Toucan. they really understood my wishlist & help me achieve it. Looking forward to my next chapter & i'd recommend toucan to candidates”

employer

“I can highly recommend Toucan. as a large team, we look for fit as well as ability & They helped us hire a talented young underwriter who ticked all the boxes. Toucan did an exceptional job in finding a short-list of candidates, all with strong technical underwriting backgrounds & all who would have fitted into our department. I’m sure that our new underwriter will be an extremely good addition to the team & we're very satisfied!”
