45.2/ 100

1 Share of the insurance fraud investigator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the insurance claims manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A insurance fraud investigator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a insurance claims manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse claim files
  • assess customer credibility
  • conduct financial audits
  • fraud detection
  • insurance law
  • principles of insurance

What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A insurance fraud investigator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a insurance claims manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage claim files information skills
  • already held analyse claim files information skills
  • already held assess customer credibility communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held review insurance process information skills
  • already held manage claims process communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held prepare financial auditing reports information skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the insurance fraud investigator role treats as required.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
