Supporting every step of your insurance recruitment journey
Global network of insurance talent
Hong Kong is one of Asia’s leading insurance hubs, with strong life and health markets and growing demand in P&C and specialty lines. Through our global network, we connect insurers and financial institutions with underwriting, claims, risk and actuarial talent across life, non-life, specialty and reinsurance. We focus on technical expertise, regulatory knowledge and cultural fit.
Deep understanding of the Hong Kong market
Hong Kong’s insurance sector is shaped by IA regulation, IFRS 17, digital transformation, an aging population and rising customer expectations. Our consultants understand these local dynamics and recruit professionals who can develop products, manage capital, lead transformation projects and make data-driven decisions.
Tailored recruitment for Hong Kong insurers
The market includes multinational carriers, regional insurers, bancassurance partners and fast-growing InsurTechs. We build recruitment strategies that reflect your business model, growth plans and technical needs. Whether you are strengthening core functions, building specialist teams or hiring leadership, we deliver talent aligned with your goals.
Long-term talent partnerships
Success in the Hong Kong market requires long-term workforce planning and agility. We support team development, operational efficiency and retention. As your organization grows, we act as a strategic recruitment partner to help you stay competitive in a highly regulated and innovation-driven insurance landscape.
Underwriting recruitment
In Hong Kong, underwriting requires strong technical judgment, regulatory awareness and the ability to price complex risks across life, health, P&C and specialty lines. We connect you with underwriters who make informed decisions and protect portfolio performance in a competitive and highly regulated market.
Claims recruitment
Claims is critical to customer trust and profitability. We recruit experienced claims managers, specialists and handlers who can manage complex cases with accuracy and empathy, supporting efficiency, service quality and retention.
Risk recruitment
With IA regulation, IFRS 17, market volatility and increasing operational and cyber risks, Hong Kong insurers need robust risk teams. We source professionals who can identify, analyze and mitigate risk to protect capital strength and long-term stability.
Actuarial recruitment
Actuaries play a strategic role in life, pensions, health and P&C across Hong Kong’s insurance market. We specialize in recruiting qualified actuaries with expertise in pricing, reserving, capital modeling and analytics to drive financial performance and regulatory compliance.
