Video Screening vs.
Rise in Employment

Employment may be weak across the nation, but several industries — including the insurance claims industry— are expected to rapidly hire new staff in the next few years. Employment in the field of third party administrators and claims adjusting is set to grow 5.7 percent annually between now and 2016, according to industry research firm IBISWorld. IBISWorld says there are now 343,089 people employed in the claims field, a number that will jump to 452,577 by 2016.

Insurance carriers and brokers are increasingly outsourcing risk management functions. In turn, third-party administrators and insurance claim firms will have to bolster personnel, the firm says.

IBISWorld says the insurance industry overall will benefit from a rebound in the general economy. More specifically, demand for commercial insurance will rise, increasing the need for claims adjustment services. Pension funds and direct insurers will continue to outsource and advisory and risk management services will benefit as businesses, insurers and individuals use these services to mitigate risks and hedge liabilities.

Other industries in the IBISWorld top 10 fastest-growing for the next few years include sustainable building material manufacturers, multi-family home builders, used car dealers, remediation and environmental cleanup services.

New Video Screening & Interviewing Technology

We are very excited to roll out our new Video Screening and Interviewing Technology to our clients/partners. We feel this increases our ability to screen candidates for our clients as well as lessening both the the time and expense that comes with hiring superstars for your organizations. Here is how it works. Questpro Consultants and Q TEMPS makes pre-screening candidates easy, no matter where they are, what position it's for, or what type of computer or browser they're on. Using a webcam, candidates record responses to tailored, pre-recorded question sets or connect with you on a live video-conference interview. This technology works with our database which keeps everything housed for each candidate and client to review as needed. This will help you reduce travel costs and eliminate lengthy phone screens while getting a larger pool of quality candidates. You also can share the video screen or live interview with anyone else in your company simply by forwarding link and password.

In addition to the questions that are asked, you can control the response length and the number of retries each candidate has during the interview process.

All interviews are accessible online from any internet connected computer. Simply click on each question to view that response. You can also view previous interviews completed, assess and rate performance, create a favorites list, and share qualified candidates. For further information call us today at 972-960-1305 or 866-545-2076.
