Client Overview

A leading global insurance provider with operations across Australia, known for its strong customer focus and large-scale national workforce.


The organisation manages complex claims, customer service and underwriting functions, all requiring adaptable teams capable of scaling quickly during peak demand periods.

The Challenge

This insurer frequently experiences surge hiring cycles, requiring large numbers of roles to be filled within tight 24–48 hour timeframes.


These peaks often occur when talent availability is at its lowest, creating a need for a recruitment partner that could act as an extension of their internal team, delivering speed, accuracy, compliance and care under pressure.

Our Approach

MAYDAY combined deep industry knowledge with a proactive, partnership-led approach to recruitment.


Our strategy included:

  • Maintaining a live, pre-vetted talent pipeline of insurance, claims and contact centre professionals ready for immediate placement.
  • Deploying a dedicated delivery team aligned with internal hiring managers to ensure transparency and speed.
  • Executing rapid turnaround processes, with shortlists delivered within 24 hours of a brief.
  • Working collaboratively with MSP partners and internal HR teams to ensure full compliance within strict frameworks.
  • Embedding The MAYDAY Experience, ensuring every client and candidate interaction reflected care, clarity and connection.

Joanna was very proactive, personable and made everything as easy as possible. She gave plenty of information about the position with an enthusiastic attitude. A very pleasant experience overall.
