Our insurance technology depth

Recruitment that connects insurance knowledge with platform experience

A core insurance platform brings together technology and the day to day work of policy administration, underwriting, billing and claims. The right hire needs experience that matches both the system and the business processes it supports.

A developer who has configured policy products may have a different background from someone who has built integrations. A business analyst with claims experience may not have worked on billing. And experience on a self managed implementation is not the same as delivery on a vendor’s cloud platform.

We establish those differences before presenting anyone. Every search considers the application, module, deployment environment, line of business, project stage and the work the person delivered themselves.

We have recruited in insurance since 2014, and this practice draws on our technology, actuarial, underwriting and claims desks.

Guidewire

Guidewire recruitment

We recruit Guidewire developers, configuration and integration specialists, business analysts, testers, support analysts and delivery leaders for teams working on PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter and BillingCenter.

Configuration and development

Guidewire developers, configuration specialists and technical leads with experience relevant to your application and release. Requirements may include Gosu, product models, business rules, policy transactions, rating configuration and application changes.

Integration and Guidewire Cloud

Integration developers and architects who connect Guidewire applications with other business systems and third party services. For Guidewire Cloud roles we check the specific experience the vacancy needs in Cloud API, App Events and Integration Gateway. Integration Gateway runs only on Guidewire Cloud, so we keep that experience separate from integration work on self managed installations.

Duck Creek

Duck Creek recruitment

We recruit Duck Creek developers, configuration specialists, integration professionals, business analysts, testers and delivery leaders for teams working on Duck Creek Policy, Rating, Billing, Claims and Distribution Management. We define the product experience the role needs at the outset, rather than treating every Duck Creek background as interchangeable.

Development and configuration

Professionals who translate insurance product requirements into platform configuration, rules, rating logic and workflows, with development experience suited to your environment.

Integration and Duck Creek OnDemand

Specialists who connect the platform with surrounding systems, investigate application issues and support a live insurance operation. For roles on Duck Creek OnDemand, we establish what the candidate was responsible for in that environment: implementation, integration, testing, releases or ongoing support.

Business analysis, testing, migration, support and delivery roles are covered in roles across the platform lifecycle.

Across the platform lifecycle

Roles across the insurance platform lifecycle

Alongside platform developers, a successful team needs people who can define requirements, validate transactions, migrate data, lead delivery and keep the system running after go live.

Business analysts and product owners

Professionals who turn insurance requirements into clear specifications, user stories and acceptance criteria. Depending on the vacancy, relevant experience may include new business, endorsements, renewals, cancellations, billing arrangements, first notification of loss and claims handling. We assess insurance process knowledge and platform experience together.

Testing and quality assurance

Functional testers, automation engineers, integration testers and test leads who understand the transactions they are validating, across regression testing, end to end workflows, interfaces, user acceptance testing, defect management and release readiness.

Data migration and conversion

Data migration specialists, analysts and leads who move information from legacy systems into the target platform, with experience in source to target mapping, transformation, data quality, reconciliation, migration rehearsals and cutover support.

Architecture and delivery leadership

Solution architects, integration architects, technical leads, delivery managers, programme managers and heads of platform. These searches weigh design responsibility, stakeholder management, delivery governance, vendor coordination and the ability to lead teams across locations, and senior appointments connect to our leadership hiring work.

Production support and platform maintenance

Application support analysts, support leads and platform specialists who keep live systems running after implementation. We separate experience resolving production incidents and recurring problems from experience limited to development or project testing.

Team builds in India

Building a Guidewire or Duck Creek team in India

Building a platform team involves more than filling a list of vacancies. The recruitment plan needs to reflect what the team will own, the delivery timetable and the capabilities already available within the organisation.

Through Capability Build Recruitment, we help employers define the team structure and decide which appointments come first. Depending on the programme, this may include:

An architect, platform leader or delivery lead to set direction.
Configuration and integration specialists aligned to the required applications.
Business analysts and product owners to connect insurance requirements with delivery.
Testing and migration professionals to support programme milestones.
Application support specialists for the work the team will keep after launch.

The sequence depends on your operating model. A new implementation, a cloud migration and an established support function each need a different mix of experience.

Before any profile reaches you

How we assess insurance technology candidates

We agree the essential requirements with your hiring team before the search begins. Screening then tests each candidate’s experience against the work they would actually do.

Platform and application

Which product and module have they worked on? What was the release and deployment environment? How recently did they use it?

Personal contribution

What did they configure, develop, integrate, test or support themselves? Which decisions did they own, and where were they working under someone else’s direction?

Insurance knowledge

Which lines of business and transactions do they understand? Can they explain how their technical work supported the insurance process?

Programme experience

Have they worked through implementation, upgrades, migration, release, cutover or production support? What were they responsible for at each stage?

Certifications and practical experience

Where certification matters, we weigh it alongside delivery experience. Formal learning and delivery responsibility are not the same thing, and we say which a candidate has.

Suitability for your team

We discuss communication, seniority, location, working arrangements, notice period, compensation expectations and motivation for moving.

You receive a focused shortlist with context on relevant strengths, experience gaps and areas to explore in your technical interviews.

Can you recruit for an individual vacancy as well as a whole team?

Yes. We support individual specialist appointments and team recruitment. For a team build, we agree the structure, priorities and sequence of appointments with you.

Do candidates need experience in the exact platform and module?

That depends on the vacancy. Roles that need immediate delivery may require direct experience in the application and environment. Other positions may allow time for training. We agree the requirement before searching and distinguish direct experience from transferable skills.

Can a Java or integration developer move into Guidewire or Duck Creek work?

Relevant engineering skills can transfer, but they do not establish platform proficiency. Suitability depends on the person’s experience, the platform requirements and the training available. We make that distinction clear when presenting candidates.

Do you recruit for cloud migration and production support?

Yes. A search can focus on migration, integration, testing, release activity or application support. We define the responsibilities and the platform environment before assessing candidates.

Can you help build a team in an India capability centre?

Yes. Through Capability Build Recruitment, we help employers plan and recruit the leadership and specialist roles their platform function needs.

Is this permanent recruitment or contract staffing?

This service focuses on permanent appointments and teams employed by the hiring organisation. Employment arrangements and recruitment responsibilities are agreed at the start of the engagement.

Do candidates pay EliteRecruitments?

No. Candidates do not pay EliteRecruitments for access to a vacancy, interview or offer. The hiring organisation engages and pays the firm. Anyone requesting money, banking credentials or unofficial training payments in the EliteRecruitments name should be verified through the contact details published on eliterecruitments.com.
