Pensions & Employee Benefits Recruitment Specialists

Fram Search supports pension funds, consultancies and employee benefits firms on a selective basis, focusing on hires where our broader financial services network adds a clear advantage.

We are particularly effective in roles that sit at the intersection of investments, advisory and regulation, where high-quality candidates are often not actively engaged with the pensions market.

Our work typically involves identifying individuals from adjacent areas - including wealth management, asset management and financial planning - who bring relevant expertise into pensions and employee benefits environments.

Why Fram

Financial services depth

Our background across wealth management gives us access to candidate pools that traditional pensions recruiters often cannot reach: investment professionals, advisers, compliance specialists and operations managers who understand the regulatory and fiduciary environment.

Direct market approach

We headhunt on every assignment, approaching candidates directly rather than relying on applications. That's particularly relevant in pensions, where the most experienced professionals are rarely actively looking.

Retained and contingent

For senior or confidential mandates, retained search gives you commitment and process discipline. For other roles, our contingency service applies the same methodology, with a fill rate nearly three times the industry average.

Case studies & testimonials:

Interim Head of Compliance – Leading Fund Manager

Placed within a short period on a fully remote process during the first lockdown.

A leading fund manager needed an interim Head of Compliance with broad technical capability across a diverse role. Fram ran a combined search and selection process, pre-screened a high volume of candidates, and presented a focused shortlist. The client appointed one of Fram's shortlisted candidates.

Once I had initially spoken to Kelly I felt that there was a real desire to find the right position, rather than try to make something fit, and the most impressive point was the fact that each executive interacted with each other sharing their opportunities. I was put in touch with Chloe and we discussed at length my requirements, a position came forward and with her perseverance and very personal approach I have been successful in a new professional position with a large global company. It was the personal way in their approach to me and my situation that really made the difference.

IFA Sales Specialist

Your assistance in introducing the two candidates has been excellent, the broader assistance in pointing candidates towards me has also been a very satisfactory. I can see that not only did you grasp my need for specific candidates, you also demonstrated a rare ability to focus attention on the quality of the candidates and not quantity of candidates.

This has brought about a really good engagement experience with Fram Search
