Build your insurance team in India

You build an insurance team in India the way you build any centre of expertise: with the right anchor hires first, the right specialists around them, and the right leadership to hold it together, recruited by people who understand both the technical work and the Indian talent market. EliteRecruitments does exactly this. Through our Capability Build Recruitment work, we help insurers and reinsurers build specialist teams in India from the first hire upward, whether you need a small actuarial team, a risk or analytics function, or a full insurance capability centre. Because India is our home and deepest market, and insurance is at the core of what we do, this is where we add the most.

Building a team is different from filling a single role, and we approach it that way. We start by understanding what you are building and why: the function, the seniority, the timeline, and how the team fits your global operation. We then recruit in the right order, often starting with the anchor hires and senior specialists who set the standard, then building the team around them. Throughout, we assess on real capability, not job titles, because the early hires in a capability centre shape everything that follows.

Because the early hires in a capability centre shape everything that follows, we hold a high bar. We assess on real capability rather than job titles, we screen at an 80 per cent rate, our candidates join at an 85 per cent rate, and since 2014 we have had to return fewer than fifteen fees because a placement left early, backed by our 90 day replacement guarantee. When you are building a team for the long term, that is the discipline that protects it. See how we work →
