At MPJ Recruitment, we’ve helped countless businesses find the perfect candidates and understand that hiring for claims roles can be particularly challenging. Whether you’re a seasoned hiring manager or new to the recruitment game, this guide aims to provide you with actionable tips and insights to make your hiring process smoother and more efficient.
We’ve seen everything from candidates ghosting during the interview process to finding the absolute perfect fit for a role. We’ve garnered a wealth of experience and are excited to share our knowledge with you.
Understanding Candidate Preferences
Before getting into the hiring process, it’s essential to understand what your candidates want. We’ve noticed a few key trends that claims professionals often look for:
- Competitive Salaries: Compensation remains a top priority.
- Flexible Working Arrangements: Many candidates prefer roles that offer remote work options or flexible hours.
- Training and Development: Opportunities for growth and professional development are also highly valued.
Key Components of an Attractive Employer Brand
- Building a Strong Employer Reputation. A strong employer brand is essential. This isn’t just about having a well-known name; it’s about being known for taking care of your employees. One of our clients in Birmingham had a fantastic reputation for employee welfare, which made all the difference. Their candidates often cited the company’s supportive work environment as a major reason for accepting the job offer.
- Offering Competitive Salaries and Benefits. It’s not just about the base salary. Benefits like healthcare, travel allowances, and flexible benefits can make your offer stand out.
- Flexible Working as a Non-Negotiable Feature. The pandemic shifted expectations. And even though we are now in a post-pandemic world with some businesses returning to the office, there is a hunger for those offering flexibility.
- Enhancing Overall Employee Value Proposition (EVP). EVP goes beyond salary and benefits. It includes work culture, job security, and growth opportunities. You can transform your EVP by looking at insights from exit interviews and candidate feedback. This will lead to increased retention rates and better fit hires.
Optimising Your Hiring Process for Claims Professionals
Crafting Effective Job Listings
- Highlight Key Responsibilities and Skills: Be clear about what the job entails.

Enhancing Candidate Experience
- Streamlining the Interview Process: Minimise unnecessary steps.
