Leading an assessment centre for general insurers annual graduate intake
INSURANCE
A leading UK general insurer needed to recruit bright, numerically gifted graduates to power its pricing department. Vermelo delivered a targeted assessment-centre approach to attract and secure top talent.
Challenge
The insurer aimed to hire five trainees with strong mathematical, actuarial, or engineering backgrounds for its pricing team. Beyond sourcing high-calibre candidates, the company wanted to present itself as an employer of choice and provide support for relocation, ensuring recruits would feel confident in their career journey.
Solution
Working hand in hand with the client, Vermelo designed and delivered a bespoke assessment centre.
Our team developed compelling marketing materials that highlighted career growth opportunities and professional development within the pricing function.
We also advised candidates on relocation options, making the transition smoother and more appealing.
This strategic approach combined talent attraction with a clear demonstration of the client’s commitment to employee growth.
Results & Benefits
The event drew 16 graduates from across the UK, leading to six placements in the pricing team and an additional hire in the data/BI function.
This model proved so effective that Vermelo continues to run similar graduate assessment centres for the client each year, creating a strong, repeatable framework for developing future talent.
