Some skills are more in-demand than others — and can come with a steeper salary expectation. Learn the latest hiring and compensation trends and how adapting to them can help you hire top candidates or land a new job.

CANDIDATE – DRIVEN

The current candidate landscape is very similar to the housing market –
expect them to receive multiple offers. Candidates are getting offers that
are between 15-35% over their current base salaries. And candidates who
in the past were getting paid a base salary for 1-3 years of experience are
now getting offers like those who have 5-10 years of experience.

BENEFITS / PAID TIME OFF

Do benefits start day one or is there a waiting period? Are companies willing to negotiate vacation time?

EXPERIENCE OVER DEGREES

While many Insurance and Risk Management teams are doing more with less in an uncertain socioeconomic climate, certain sectors such as underwriting, property claims, and nurse case management need the right expertise more than ever. Also, actual work experience has increasingly become a job requirement and less attention has been placed on educational background/degrees.

REMOTE WORK

In addition, increased demand for remote work is taking hold – large companies are now working 100% remote or at least a hybrid work schedule (2-3 days in the office, the rest from home).

As the demand for insurance and risk management services increases, companies must ensure they have the talent that can meet their expectations. Right now, in the US, the ratio of open insurance-related jobs to each candidate is 44 to 1!
