Driving innovation and success
The insurance industry is under pressure from shifting customer expectations, rising claims costs, and tightening regulation. Clients now expect faster, more personalised services, forcing insurers to move away from traditional processes and adopt agile, digital-first approaches. At the same time, ESG commitments and evolving compliance requirements demand new skills and leadership styles.
Finding talent to meet these needs is becoming harder. Specialists in underwriting, claims, compliance, and risk are in short supply, and the right people must combine technical expertise with adaptability and strategic vision.
We understand these challenges because we work closely with the industry every day. Our network connects insurers with professionals who can deliver results in complex environments, balance operational demands with regulatory obligations, and lead change confidently.
Technology is transforming insurance, but the road isn’t easy. Legacy systems make digital integration costly, while AI, analytics, and automation require specialist skills to implement effectively. Cybersecurity risks are rising, with insurers handling sensitive personal and financial data under strict compliance scrutiny.
The demand for tech talent who also understand insurance is intense, with competition from other industries adding to the challenge. Cloud migration, automation projects, and insurtech partnerships all need leaders who can bridge the gap between technology and business priorities.
We help insurers find these people: individuals who can deliver digital transformation without losing sight of operational realities and regulatory requirements. Whether it’s a CIO driving innovation or a niche technical specialist, our network provides access to the talent that ensures technology investments deliver lasting results.
We know our niche
Operating in such a specific niche market means we can provide a service that is knowledgeable and informed, with insight into the latest trends. We also get to know who is who, who works where, who is looking for a new role, and what projects and managers are looking for. By networking across the sector, we can supply the candidates who best fit the role or position in question, at home or abroad, rather than simply those actively looking at any point in time.
The right people for the right roles
We have sourced entire teams of specialist Contractors, often from other continents, to enable our clients to support and develop their systems. We also supply people with appropriate vendor experience to give clients sustainable visibility and control over outsourced projects.
A significant and growing part of our business is the supply of people to large change and transformation projects – Business Analysts, Business Architects, Process Improvement consultants, and Solution Architects, along with individuals with the hands-on knowledge and experience necessary for large implementations and migrations.
Many of our Contractors have worked through PiC on multiple projects and clients and a significant number have worked with us continuously for over 10 years.
