Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.
Every underwriting support role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.
Exceptional talent from Latin America, the Philippines, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada, from $12/hr. One monthly fee, all-inclusive: sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.
Explore global staffing →Full-time professionals across the United States, employed directly by you. One placement fee: from 12.5% of first-year salary, with the $995 retainer credited against it. Prefer nothing upfront? From 15%, paid only when you hire. Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of salary for the same search.

When renewals reach the window late
Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.
- Renewal preparation starts near the deadline.
- Underwriters send submissions back incomplete.
- Endorsements sit until someone has a gap.
- Licensed staff spend the day gathering documents.
- A renewal lapses or gets rushed.
- Certificates are issued by whoever is free.

Beyond underwriting support
One desk inside finance. If the pressure is service volume rather than submissions, that sits elsewhere.

Administrative Support staffing, answered
What does an underwriting support desk own?
It prepares the file the underwriter decides on: submissions gathered, risks rated, endorsements processed and certificates issued, all inside the agency management system against carrier deadlines. Renewals are the exposure, because a renewal that misses its window either lapses or gets rushed at a worse rate.
Which underwriting support seat should we hire first?
Usually the Underwriting Assistant, because a complete submission is what lets an underwriter decide quickly rather than send it back. Agencies where renewals are the pain point should start with the Renewal Specialist instead. We will ask how many renewals slipped last quarter before recommending.
Can underwriting support be staffed globally?
The preparation work can, and it is highly structured. Submission gathering, rating, endorsement processing and certificate issuance all staff globally from our six core talent markets. Binding authority and coverage advice stay with licensed US staff on your payroll, which is a regulatory line rather than a preference.
Will these hires work in our rating and carrier systems?
Yes. Assistants and analysts work in your agency management system and the carrier portals you already submit through, to your rating rules and your file standards. Fluency is tested during vetting, so someone presented as a Rating Analyst has rated a real risk in an exercise rather than described the process.
How do you vet underwriting support candidates?
5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, plus a submission exercise: an incomplete file, and what has to be chased before an underwriter will look at it. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Knowing what is missing is the skill that shortens turnaround, so it is what we test.
What does an underwriting assistant cost?
Global Fully Managed from $12/hr all-inclusive, month to month, which is where the preparation work sits. Binding authority stays with your licensed US staff. A domestic seat on US Direct Hire is $995 plus 12.5% of first-year salary, or 15% with nothing upfront.
Can they bind cover or quote a rate to a client?
No. Binding authority and coverage advice require a licensed US employee, and we will not present a global seat for either. What moves is the preparation: submissions gathered, risks rated to your rules, endorsements processed, certificates issued. The decision stays with your licensed staff.
Which carriers will they need access to?
Whichever ones you already submit through. Assistants work in your agency management system and the carrier portals you use, to your own file standards. We will list the portals on the discovery call, because carrier access provisioning is usually the slowest part of onboarding rather than the recruiting.
