The P&C talent gap isn’t going anywhere, and neither is the pressure on hiring. Across underwriting, claims, actuarial, and risk, demand for experienced Property & Casualty professionals continues to outpace supply. At the same time, hiring cycles are getting longer, which is putting our clients at risk of losing the talent available. We are seeing this across carriers, brokers and MGAs. Process is a major factor Extended interview cycles, multiple stakeholders, and delays between stages are causing early-engaged candidates to exit processes before completion. Market dynamics are equally impactful Experienced P&C talent (especially in specialty lines, claims leadership, and actuarial functions) is highly selective and motivated only by clearly differentiated opportunities. Companies must be willing to offer strong compensation packages, flexible working arrangements, challenging work and long-term career growth. What’s causing the biggest delays: - Waiting for the “perfect” profile instead of securing the best available talent - Approval layers that add weeks to the hiring process - Role requirements that haven’t kept pace with today’s market realities What’s making the difference right now? Speed, strong relationships and real market insight.
