Insurance Recruitment

The timeline for each hire depends on the role, its seniority and the hiring model you choose. Interim support for valuation cycles, regulatory change or system projects can usually be arranged ahead of a permanent appointment. Senior and regional roles often involve longer notice periods, and some, such as appointed actuary or key leadership positions, need MAS approval. International hires may also require an Employment Pass. We’ll build all of this into a clear, realistic plan from the outset.

Many insurers and reinsurers run regional operations from Singapore, so a single hire can influence business across Asia. Getting it right means understanding the detail, such as the lines of business a candidate knows, the markets they’ve covered, the regulatory frameworks they’ve worked within and the qualifications they hold. Our consultants specialise in Actuarial, Risk, Compliance & Control, Underwriting & Claims, and Distribution & Broking, so they understand what makes a candidate right for your team.

Experienced insurance professionals in Singapore are often settled in their roles. Our consultants know who they are and how to approach them, using targeted headhunting built on relationships developed since 2014. We also work closely with our insurance teams in the UK and Hong Kong, drawing on their client and candidate relationships to widen your search and bring you the strongest possible shortlist. Every search is handled with complete discretion, whether you’re appointing a regional leader, strengthening an actuarial team or building a new distribution channel.

Every candidate goes through competency-based screening, qualification checks and thorough referencing. For client-facing and regulated roles, we check representative and licensing status. For key appointments, we help you plan ahead for MAS approval. Our consultants also explore what candidates have achieved, from valuation and pricing work to underwriting performance, claims outcomes and channel growth. We can arrange technical interviews, case studies or practical assessments to suit your process.

We’ve been building our insurance network in Singapore since 2014. Our consultants keep in regular contact with actuaries, risk specialists, underwriters, claims professionals and distribution leaders, so we often know who’s open to a move before they’re on the market.

That network spans global insurers, reinsurers, specialty carriers and brokers with regional hubs in Singapore. It also reaches digital insurers and insurtech businesses, where insurance expertise combined with data skills is increasingly in demand. Through our Hong Kong office, we can widen your search across the region when needed, and many of the professionals we represent work with us exclusively.

Our salary data is reviewed regularly and fully updated every quarter to track changes across Singapore’s insurance market. We combine insights from our database of 300K+ candidates with our own research and secondary market data, including bonus and incentive trends, so you get a clear picture of the market.
