WHAT IS THE HIRING POLICY OF THE INSURANCE SECTOR

  This will not be the first time that we have told you about a myth about the insurance sector; of a myth that also turns out to be false. In this case, the myth is this: the insurance industry only hires people for sales. He just wants commercials. The truth is that this is not true.

It can be estimated that in 2018 the insurance sector as a whole made some 4,500 job offers; Every day of the year, therefore, 12 opportunities open up to find or improve a job in the insurance sector. And you may be surprised to know that, of those 4,500 offers, about 575 were made in departments and commercial tasks. This is so because, contrary to what many people may think, the insurance industry does not only need a narrow number of professionals but also requires a very wide range of skills to carry out its activity.

Every day of the year there are 12 opportunities to find employment in the insurance sector

The most important contracting element in the insurance industry today, based on the figures, is directly linked to the relationship with the client; but from a non-commercial point of view.

In 2018, approximately a third of the positions offered were for call center operators. The customer service structures of insurance companies are, in effect, essential to guarantee an adequate relationship between the insurer and its customers. On their backs fall the more than 120 million mishaps and services that the insurance sector has to take care of each year, to which must be added the 150,000 inquiries and claims they receive, plus a series of calls with other needs. The insurance sector is therefore permanently in contact with its clients, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year; and so you need to have good professionals on the other end of the phone.

So, as you can see, not only people who have the vocation to dedicate themselves to sales have a future in the insurance sector. In reality, almost any type of professional has a future in insurance, be it an expert in new technologies, communication, law, or economics. If you have talent, we have jobs. You can start looking for it in our Un Insured Future directory, where you have access to the employment pages of the main insurers in the USA.

That said, behind the call center operators, it is not, of course, and they are not by much difference, the commercial ones who demand the most employment. They are the technical profiles; the people responsible for designing the insurance products, for making sure that the guarantees are feasible and adequate.
