Global senior insurance hires, September 2022
The following chart shows the overall trend in senior global insurance hires since January 2021. June remains the 21-month peak at 170 new senior appointments, after which we’ve seen a steady decline. Numbers are still broadly up on the same period last year, but the relative decline has been consistent all Summer. The peaks seen in June and July may be a blip and this is the market returning to normal, or we may be seeing a decline in new hires due to current economic uncertainty.
