3. Technical or functional interview

A hiring manager assesses domain knowledge in insurance products, underwriting principles, claims handling or sales strategy, depending on the role.

4. Aptitude or role-play assessment

Sales and customer-facing roles may include a role-play or situational exercise to test persuasion, objection handling and customer empathy.
