Insurance Staffing and Recruiting Agency

An insurance staffing and recruiting agency sources, screens, and delivers interview-ready candidates so you're not spending time filtering unqualified applicants or managing a search while running an operation.

At Near, the process starts with a discovery call where your dedicated insurance recruiter learns your team structure, the specific role, and the non-negotiables, whether that's familiarity with policy administration systems, bilingual capability for Spanish-speaking policyholders, or experience with insurance back-office workflows.

We source from our LatAm network, screen thoroughly, and deliver a shortlist in days. Then you interview. We coordinate. You make the hire.

No, Near's insurance placements are exclusively non-licensed back-office, operations, and support roles, because most licensed agent and broker positions require active state-specific licensing that international remote workers cannot hold.

What Near does fill for insurance companies is everything that supports the licensed side of the business, for example, customer service reps who handle policyholder inquiries, operations analysts who keep workflows moving, data analysts who support underwriting decisions, bilingual support staff for diverse policyholder bases, and finance and accounting professionals who manage billing and AP.

These are the roles where nearshore hiring delivers the strongest ROI for insurance operations.

Yes, experienced insurance professionals in Latin America understand US insurance products and terminology.

Near screens specifically for candidates with prior exposure to US insurance workflows, including familiarity with policy administration systems, claims support processes, and standard US insurance terminology across P&C, life, and benefits lines.

Latin America has a growing talent pool of professionals who've spent years supporting US insurance companies remotely. Near's recruiters know where to find them and how to verify that familiarity before a candidate reaches you.

Near is a full-service nearshore staffing and recruiting partner that helps US companies hire across all departments and industries, including insurance. We handle everything from sourcing and screening to payroll and compliance support.

Here's what our services cover:

1. Candidate sourcing and screening. We handle sourcing, screening, English proficiency testing, verification of insurance industry experience, initial interviews, and international background checks.
2. Payroll, compliance, and contracts. Through our staffing model, Near manages contracts, payroll, tax compliance, and benefits administration so you can hire in LatAm without setting up a local entity or navigating local labor law yourself.
3. Equipment and onboarding logistics. If you need it, we make it happen: laptops, secure equipment setup, office space coordination. It's not something every client needs, but it's there if you do.
4. ‍Ongoing support. Once your hire is in place, we don't disappear. Your dedicated recruiter stays available for questions, check-ins, and anything that comes up.

Near's pre-screening process verifies prior experience working with sensitive data in US-compliant environments.

If necessary, we screen for experience with US data privacy standards, including HIPAA-adjacent protocols for health insurance clients and standard PII handling practices across all insurance lines.

For insurance companies with specific security requirements—system access controls, VPN requirements, or secure workstation standards—we can help coordinate those during onboarding. 

Candidates who haven't operated in those environments don't reach your shortlist.

Yes, LatAm talent works US business hours because the time zones are naturally aligned, with no overnight lag and no waiting until tomorrow for a response on a live policyholder inquiry.

If you've tried offshore hiring in Asia or Eastern Europe and run into coverage gaps during peak hours, working with LatAm talent is a different experience.

A bilingual customer service rep in Colombia or Mexico is available in real time, during your business day, the same way your Dallas office is available to your New York office.

For insurance operations where customer service response times affect retention and satisfaction scores, that alignment matters.

Near's fees depend on which model you choose—recruiting only, or full-service staffing that includes payroll and compliance—and we walk through both clearly on the first call. 

There are no upfront costs and no surprises.

Most clients find that even after Near's fees, the total annual cost of a LatAm hire is 40–60% less than the equivalent US-based hire.

For insurance companies where back-office headcount is a meaningful cost line—customer service, billing, data entry, operations—the compounding savings across a team of 3–5 people are substantial. 

We'll share specific salary benchmarks for your target roles on the first call.

Near delivers the first vetted shortlist of insurance staffing candidates within 3–5 business days of kickoff, with most clients making a hire within 21 days.

By the time candidates reach you, they've already been vetted for role-relevant experience, English fluency, and culture fit.
