EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job-board operators, recently announced the launch of ActuarialCrossing. As part of the EmploymentCrossing job-site franchise, ActuarialCrossing seeks to list every actuarial job in the United States in one convenient location. Using proprietary technology, ActuarialCrossing monitors the actuarial job postings on other job websites and other sources and displays every actuarial job it can find. ActuarialCrossing’s goal is nothing less than to show job seekers every actuarial job available.

Pasadena, CA  — Recently launched by the popular job-search site EmploymentCrossing, ActuarialCrossing (www.actuarialcrossing.com) will list all kinds of actuarial jobs as well as provide details on career advancement opportunities and employment information related to the industry.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of actuaries is expected to rise by 24% over the 2006-2016 decade. Some new employment opportunities should become available in the healthcare field, while many actuaries will find jobs in consulting firms, according to the bureau. Candidates with additional actuary knowledge and experience will be preferred by employers.

“In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,” says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of ActuarialCrossing. “Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”

ActuarialCrossing was launched to help actuaries sort out the opportunities that they might not find out about otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on actuary jobs, and it doesn’t charge employers to post jobs.

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site thus far have been:

• entry-level actuarial jobs
• actuary jobs
• actuarial job
• actuarial science jobs
• jobs for actuaries
• actuary job outlook
• actuarial science job
• actuarial job openings
• actuaries jobs
• best jobs actuary
• entry-level actuarial job
• actuarial job description
• actuary job openings

“There is an astonishing number of actuarial job openings out there. We want to find them all,” Barnes says.

ActuarialCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, ActuarialCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.
