“Most insurance & actuarial professionals aren't concerned about AI in terms of their career prospects. They understand that automation can make their teams more productive, but they are not seeing it as something that will replace their specialist skills. On the hiring side, the main focus is still on technical capability, industry knowledge, and the human element.”
Corinne Wilson, SVP Account Management & Commercial Strategy - Insurance
“Candidates do not generally respond well to video interviews or AI-led hiring steps. They can make the process feel impersonal and often fail sell the opportunity, so a real person needs to lead those conversations. At Selby Jennings, we help firms keep the hiring process efficient while making sure candidates stay engaged, informed, and bought into the company. That human connection can make the difference between committing to a role or choosing a competitor.”
Taylor Carrasco, Executive Director - Head of Insurance & Actuarial Services
