1 Share of the loss adjuster role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the insurance fraud investigator 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 loss adjuster role treats 12 of its required skills as things a insurance fraud investigator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • actuarial science
  • analyse claim files
  • claims procedures
  • document evidence
  • insurance law
  • interview insurance claimants

What stands in the way is 9 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A loss adjuster role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a insurance fraud investigator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interview insurance claimants communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held classify insurance claims information skills
  • 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 claims procedures business, administration and law

All 20 carried skills, including the 12 the loss adjuster role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
