VERMELO | INSURANCE & INSURTECH RECRUITMENT SOLUTIONS
WE’RE AT THE HEART OF INSURANCE RECRUITMENT
Vermelo is an insurance and insurtech talent solutions specialist, named Best Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) Business at the Global Recruiter Awards 2025. Most of our track record sits inside insurers and insurtechs, where hiring at volume also means FCA pre-employment screening at volume, right to work evidence on every offer and an audit trail that survives inspection.
If your hiring comes with regulatory obligations attached, you are not asking us to learn your world. It is where our recruiters spent their careers. For what's changed and what to build, read insurance hiring in 2026: building a talent engine.

Insurance hiring, answered
FCA screening, contractors, insurtechs and the roles in between.
-
It is built into the process, not added afterwards: pre-employment checks, regulatory references and annual maintenance screening designed as repeatable frameworks rather than one-off scrambles. We have built annual FCA maintenance check processes for UK insurers as standalone advisory projects, and the same discipline runs through every RPO and embedded programme.
-
Yes, and increasingly under one programme. Permanent hiring runs through RPO or embedded models; contractor populations run through MSP with IR35 governance built in; and a total talent programme joins the two so nothing falls between HR and procurement.
-
Yes. Our clients range from scale-up insurtechs building their first pricing team to established insurers running high-volume claims operations. The compliance obligations are similar; the pace and culture differ, and the recruiters we deploy are matched accordingly.
-
Underwriting, claims, pricing, actuarial and data, broking and account management, compliance and risk, and the technology and change roles driving transformation across the sector. From high-volume operational hiring to the senior appointments that take months through traditional routes.
-
Within a programme, yes: niche and senior roles get targeted search alongside the volume. If it is a standalone hire with no programme behind it, that is a job for a specialist agency, and our sister brand Gerrard White does exactly that across insurance and insurtech in the UK, Europe and the US. We will point you there rather than sell you a programme you do not need.
