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.
During the end-of-year period, businesses can experience a 35% increase in workloads while also managing holiday leave. Having reliable temp staff can help keep operations running smoothly and avoid costly delays.

Starting your temp recruitment now means you can have someone in place to support your skeleton staff and cover extended leave during the holiday period, ensuring business continuity into January.
At HAYLO People, we specialise in connecting insurance and personal injury teams with skilled professionals nationally on a temporary and permanent basis. Whether you’re looking for short-term cover during the holiday season or an experienced temp to assist with project work, we provide staffing solutions designed to keep your operations running smoothly.
Thanks to our extensive network of industry experts, we’re equipped to cover gaps, from staff on leave to unexpected workload surges. We understand the urgency, which is why we pride ourselves on a rapid turnaround—we can often have a qualified temp in place within 48 hours of your request, ensuring no delays and minimal disruption.
