Broken Underwriting: Why Hiring Underwriters Is So Hard, and How to Fix It
Underwriting talent is scarce. We look at why underwriting recruitment breaks down in Australia, and what employers can do to fix it.
We partner with organisations across Australia to strengthen capability within General Insurance, Personal Injury and Work Health Safety.
With experience leading both internal and agency recruitment functions, we understand hiring from every angle. From high volume delivery to specialist and senior appointments, we provide permanent, temporary and contract temporary solutions tailored to your business needs.
We don't rely on jobs board to find talent for our clients. We spend our time networking and talking to people in the industry to attract and retain the best talent for your business. We manage the whole process for you and provide regular updates so you can get back to running your business.
Our retained service is an exclusive, structured search partnership designed to proactively identify and engage technical or senior talent, supported by detailed market mapping and rigorous assessment. Unlike other service offerings, this model offers dedicated resources, transparent reporting, and end to end ownership, delivering a high calibre, low risk hiring outcome.
Whether you are delivering a short term project, covering leave, or need specialist expertise, we provide high quality contract talent quickly and efficiently. We manage sourcing, compliance, and onboarding end to end, delivering a seamless solution and experienced contractors who can add value from day one.
Whether it is a short term project or a sudden need to scale your team, we find the right people to keep your business running. Access our established pool of immediately available professionals with flexible on hire solutions, while we take care of payroll and compliance. No long term commitment, just the support your team needs when it is needed.
Finding and keeping great talent remains one of the biggest challenges in our industry. That's why at HAYLO People we partner with our clients to deliver practical training across key areas of hiring and retention to ensure you get it right. Our approach builds internal capability while ensuring every hire is aligned to long term success.
