Experts in Insurance

Like other parts of the Financial sector, the Insurance industry is emerging from the financial crisis and a prolonged period of economic uncertainty. Insurers are rebuilding their capital positions across Canada, Europe and particularly in the US whilst rising individual wealth and an ageing population are fuelling growth in other parts of the world such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Against this backdrop of increased confidence and growth, the industry continues to face a number of complex challenges: an extended period of low interest rates, increased regulation and legislation and the technology challenge-especially the need to both develop a stronger digital presence and implement more robust data analytics and reporting.

As the Insurance industry responds to the challenges and opportunities it faces, a war for talent has emerged. Skills shortages are widespread (particularly around technical markets) whilst the industry is demanding more candidates with higher degrees, broader education and increasingly specific experience. Companies are competing for a larger share of a diminishing candidate pool.
