Case Study: General Insurance Company expands its risk capabilities with FourthLine

General Insurance Company - Customer Case Study

General Insurance Company, a mid-size general insurer based in Folkestone, wanted to expand its risk function by hiring a Head of Risk, but had struggled to find the right talent. Previous recruitment agencies lacked understanding of the risk sector, and the company also faced challenges sourcing strong candidates locally within a short three-week timeframe. FourthLine was brought in to help develop the recruitment strategy and identify suitable risk professionals.

FourthLine took a knowledge-led approach, first reviewing the interviews already conducted and advising the client on market conditions and hiring needs. Using its candidate network, FourthLine ran a targeted search and arranged meetings with multiple senior stakeholders, the CRO, CEO, and wider team to ensure both technical fit and cultural alignment. The result was a successful hire, and FourthLine has continued to support General Insurance Company with interim work and market intelligence services.
