Your role

Wanting to take your insurance career further by working for a progressive company that values employee input? Frustrated with outdated practices and processes that lead to poor customer service? At Square One Claims Inc., we treat our customers fairly, paying them what they are entitled to under their policies. And, we leverage technology to personalize buying a home insurance policy in addition to enhancing claims handling.

As a Telephone Claims Adjuster, you understand how important proper claims handling is to an insurance provider's reputation. You treat each customer with empathy, patience and respect. You recognize that, although you may handle hundreds of claims a year, this is likely the customer's first claim ever (or at least in a while).

Your success in this role comes from your superior analytical and decision-making skills. You have strong communication skills, which you use to share decisions with, and provide direction to, others. While you don't enjoy conflict, you handle it effectively. You are both detail-oriented and organized, handling multiple files and tasks with ease. And, you take pride in your work and your ability to assist others.

The majority of your day is spent settling residential insurance claims via telephone while leveraging our online claims processing system. You receive assignments within your authority, make first contact and gather details of the loss via the telephone, working closely with customers and contractors to replace/restore damaged property. Your tasks also include:

- Accurately setting reserves and maintaining an efficient follow-up system.

- Securing telephone statements and analyzing coverage.

- Preparing opening and closing loss summaries, maintaining up to date notes and requesting payments.

- Identifying policies requiring underwriting reviews.

One of the things you enjoy most about Square One Claims Inc. is the supportive team environment. You know you're never set up for failure; instead, you get all the coaching, mentoring, training, and tools you need for continued success.

- The ability to work from home.

- Flexible medical, dental, vision and extended health care coverage.
