Overview

Our hyper-connected world has made it possible to hire globally and recruit the best talent for the job. With more flexible and remote work environments emerging, every expanding insurance company is opting for international teams. Despite offices reopening, agencies have realized that remote global employees are not only an excellent strategy to acquire top talent but also, are equally as competent as in-person employees. 

Hiring local in-person employees can be limiting, expensive and comes with no guarantees. But with remote employees, you’re not restricted to only choose the best of talent from your locality but you can now choose the best of talent from all over the globe. Another great advantage is that these global remote employees are never affected by local issues and cost cheaper than your in-person employees as they don’t require physical equipment and are paid within an affordable range.

 

How to hire remote teams?

Most insurance companies do not have large budgets allocated to their recruitment processes or may not even have an HR department. Which makes hiring an absolute hassle for them. Additionally, a growing pain that has taken over the nation has been that of worker shortages. With more jobs open than people are willing to take, businesses have been left to struggle with this new shift in employment trends.

Edge helps insurance agencies in the United States and Canada to build remote international teams of talented, trained and reliable professionals. Almost 98% of all Edge remote employees are college graduates and we handpick resumes of the candidates that we feel your agency needs and then we forward them to you. Our training process includes learning about your agency through 1:1 sessions so that we’re able to customize our training relevant to your business. Also, Edge makes sure that your agency’s or employees’ data is not vulnerable to ransomware or other cyberattacks. We have over 700 system security and hardening settings in place to ensure the safety of our client’s data.

 

How to manage remote teams?

Edge believes in the power of global mobility and was designed to act as the ideal HR agent for insurance companies. Edge has world-class expertise, people, and technology that will provide you with a team of full-time, trained, remote professionals that will build the future of your agency.

Edge is not only a HR solution for your agency but will closely monitor and manage your remote employee’s success at your agency. Edge is responsible for the training and smooth onboarding of the remote workforce at your agency. Not only this, but will also provide physical equipment and an appropriate work environment to the remote employee on your behalf. 

Edge will make sure that productivity stays consistent at your agency. If for any reason, you’re not satisfied with a certain employee from your remote team, Edge will replace them for you with a more suitable match at no additional cost.
