“Lechner & Associates, specifically Lisa Bull, has completed two high level actuarial searches for us. Both positions we unique in job responsibilities as well as the skills that were required. Lisa was very up front with us about what she anticipated the pool of candidates to look like. While doing the searches, Lisa was able to give us market data on availability, trends in the market as well as compensation data. All of this was highly useful and without this data we would not have been able to persuade all parties involved. I have been doing corporate actuarial recruiting for almost 30 years. Many of the actuarial search firms are what I call ‘churn and burn.’ They are typically working on such a high quantity of searches that it ends up mostly being a numbers game. When I spoke to Lisa the first time about how she approaches a search, she explained to me that she is particular in the searches that she accepts. If she does not feel like she can provide quality work and/or if she does not think that the particular role is going to be of interest to candidates, she would not take the search. Her approach is opposite of the other firms. She spend extra time getting to know the organization, the particular department, the hiring manager and the uniqueness of the position. On ease and ability to work with Lisa, there is nothing more I can say then OUTSTANDING. Lisa is easy to get ahold of, she provides regular updates and provides a reasonable timeline to hit benchmarks during the search. We have a very hands on HR department here and as recruiter and selectors we are very involved in the whole process. This is atypical in the industry these days. Usually outside search firms want to work primarily with the hiring manager. Matter of fact, I have actually had some other search firms decline to work with us because of the HR involvement. Lisa took time to understand our process and our model for hiring and conformed her process to ours.”
Steve Froeschl, HR Recruiter, Midwestern Insurance Company
“Working with Lisa is always a pleasure. She is very easy to work with and she is very responsive. Her style differentiates her positively compared to other recruiters. First, she takes time understanding what a position entails and then she does substantial research to find a person for you. In a way, it is a retain search attitude within a contingency search framework. I wish everyone worked the same way. Lisa has placed a person recently in my team. In addition to the research of finding a suitable candidate, she has been in contact with me and with a candidate throughout the entire process to ensure everything was covered to everyone’s satisfaction. I highly recommend Lisa to any prospective employers and candidates.”
Yan Fridman, VP, Valuation, Great American Insurance

Alex Faynberg, SVP, Chief Actuary, Combined Insurance
“Lisa has gotten to know and really understand our businesses and services, the key characteristics of a successful candidate for our business, and how to work within our organization. She has delivered strong results and does so in an extremely efficient manner. It is a pleasure to work with Lisa.”
Carrie Duarte, Partner, Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP
