Solutions for Insurance

Technology Teams for Insurers Who Cannot Afford a Learning Curve

Core platform programmes fail on people, not software. We staff carriers, MGAs, brokers and delivery partners with engineers who already know Guidewire and Duck Creek — so the first sprint is delivery rather than orientation.

Why Insurance Hiring Is Different

Every Carrier’s Platform Is Bespoke, So Generic Hiring Costs You a Quarter

Two insurers on the same version of the same product have almost nothing in common under the surface. The product model, the rating structure, the rules and the integrations are all specific to the business. An engineer without prior platform experience spends the first sprint reading code, and the second asking questions.

That is the whole reason to staff this narrowly. A generalist agency covering every technology matches keywords because it has to. We cover a handful of platform families, so screening is done by people who have worked on them — and when a requirement is genuinely hard to fill, you hear that on the intake call rather than three weeks later.

All Expertise

Ramp-Up Nobody BudgetedPlatform-naive hires are productive late in the engagement, which is precisely when a fixed-term contract ends.
Module Depth AssumedPolicy, claims and billing are close to separate disciplines. A strong profile in one is not a substitute in another.
Upgrade-Safe Discipline MissingConfiguration that solves today’s problem the wrong way lands as remediation cost at the next upgrade or cloud wave.
Integration Left to the EndInterfaces to rating, documents, payments and bureau data are where programmes actually slip, and they get scoped last.
Partner Standards IgnoredIf a delivery partner owns the build, incoming engineers have to work inside their configuration standards from day one.

Where We Help

The Insurance Programmes We Staff

Most briefs arrive as one of these. Tell us which and the team shape follows.

Core Platform Implementation

Most Requested

Greenfield policy, claims or billing builds — configuration, product model, integration and test capacity alongside your programme.

Cloud Migration & Upgrade Waves

Moving to a hosted platform, or catching up on versions, with the remediation and regression that entails.

New Line of Business Launch

Product definition through rating, forms and testing, on a date the business has already announced.

Rate Revision Cycles

Recurring rating change with the regression discipline that keeps premium correct through each release.

Claims Transformation

Rules, assignment, financials and adjuster workflow — the areas where claims programmes take criticism.

Integration Workstreams

Rating engines, documents, payments, bureau data, finance and the data platform, owned end to end.

Digital & Portal Delivery

Agent, policyholder and claimant journeys built on top of core platform services.

Run, Support & BAU Change

A standing team for the change that never stops once the platform is live.

Who We Staff

The Insurance Capability Grid

Requirements get mapped against this grid before we send anyone, so you can see depth by area instead of reading it out of a CV.

How We Get to a Shortlist

Screening, in the Order It Happens

Four steps, and you hear from us at each one.

1
Requirement Intake
Platform, module, version, on-premise or cloud, product lines in scope, and what your team already covers.
2
Platform Screening
A reviewer with core insurance background probes actual work: configuration owned, rating decisions, production defects.
3
Shortlist With Notes
Profiles arrive with a written view on depth by area, notice period, rate and known gaps.
4
Interview and Onboard
We coordinate panels, handle paperwork and stay involved through the first weeks on your codebase.

Team Shapes

Team compositions are illustrative starting points, not fixed packages. Actual shape, rates and availability are agreed against a specific requirement.

Before You Send a Brief

Questions We Get Asked

Do you work with delivery partners as well as carriers?

Both, and often on the same programme from different sides. Partners typically come to us when a client programme ramps faster than their bench allows and they need people who can work inside an existing configuration standard from day one.

Can you provide a whole team rather than individuals?

Yes. Implementations, upgrades and new line of business launches are usually staffed as a pod — see project team staffing. The team shapes above are the usual starting points.

How is this different from a generalist recruitment agency?

Coverage. An agency spanning every technology has to match on keywords; we cover a small number of platform families, so screening is done by people who have worked on them. The trade-off is that we will decline briefs outside those families rather than take them on speculatively.

We are on a platform you do not list. Can you still help?

Sometimes, for the integration, data, QA and delivery roles that surround any core platform. For core configuration on a platform we do not cover, we will say so rather than learning on your programme.

Can you support both implementation and live-running platforms?

Yes. Implementations and upgrades usually need a project pod; live platforms usually need contract or dedicated cover. The models page compares the four options.

What do you need from us to start?

A JD if you have one. If not: platform and module, version, cloud or on-premise, the product lines in scope, the programme driver, seniority, engagement type and location expectations.
