  • Location: Must be a South African citizen currently residing in South Africa

Application Process & Additional Information

  • This is a pipeline role, meaning you will be considered for both current and future opportunities
  • The application process includes a comprehensive application form and short video introduction
  • Candidates who successfully complete the process will remain active in our professional network and may be presented to brokers as suitable opportunities arise

Why Join ICS?

  • Access to international career opportunities in the UK and Australian insurance markets

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
