What is the hiring process at Zurich?

When the company does reach out to you, you have an initial phone screening with the Human Resources department. This covers general information about yourself and your professional experience. It also consists of behavioral questions.

Next, you have face-to-face interviews with multiple people within the company. These interviews cover your experience and dive deeper into scenario-based questioning related to the role. Zurich often uses panel interviews during the hiring process, so you may be interviewed by department heads from several different areas at one time.

If applying for a position in their claims department, you have to interview with every department head in claims. There are several different heads in Zurich's claim department.

Some interviews with Zurich also require role-play or case format interviews. Here are some questions to expect in your interviews with Zurich:

• Can you tell us how you see yourself fitting in with Zurich's culture?

• What are some of the challenges facing insurance companies?

• How do you handle stressful situations?

Zurich is also known to use STAR interview format questions.

If you pass the interview phase, you enter the salary negotiation period. Zurich then performs a background check on you before you begin your employment.
