Client Overview

Industry:  Property & Casualty Insurance

A swiftly growing Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance carrier sought to hire a senior-level Pricing Actuary. Given the company's young and dynamic nature, the ideal candidate needed to be not only technically proficient but also adaptable, open-minded, and capable of contributing to the development of a structured team environment. Further complicating the search was the decentralized nature of the team, spanning multiple geographies.

The Challenge

Finding a senior-level Pricing Actuary with the right blend of technical expertise, leadership ability, and adaptability was no small task; especially in a traditionally competitive market. The client also sought to enhance diversity in its leadership team, making it imperative to conduct an inclusive search while maintaining the highest hiring standards.

Lyneer’s Strategy

To ensure we identified the most qualified and diverse talent pool, Lyneer took a strategic approach:

• Conducted extensive market research to identify both active and passive candidates across the East Coast.

• Focused on outreach efforts designed to connect with a broader range of talent, ensuring that female actuaries and other underrepresented groups were considered.

• Assessed candidates beyond their technical skills—evaluating their ability to thrive in a high-growth, decentralized environment.

• Provided our client with key insights into industry hiring trends and best practices for building a well-rounded actuarial team.

The Outcome

Lyneer presented a carefully curated slate of four CAS-certified candidates, three of whom were selected for interviews. Within 60 days of initiating the search, the client extended an offer to a highly qualified female FSA-designated actuary, marking a significant step forward in fostering leadership diversity within their organization.
