How to Apply to Verisk Analytics

About Verisk Analytics

Verisk Analytics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSK) is a $2.9 billion data analytics and technology company headquartered at 545 Washington Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey. Approximately 7,500 employees work across global offices spanning the United States, India, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. CEO Lee Shavel leads a company that, in its current form, is a focused, pure-play property and casualty (P&C) insurance company — a strategic identity that did not fully exist five years ago. That distinction is the most important thing a candidate can understand before applying. Between 2022 and 2024, Verisk completed a deliberate, multi-year divestiture program that shed every business unit not directly serving the global insurance industry. The company sold Wood Mackenzie, its energy research and consulting business, to Veritas Capital in 2022 for roughly $3.1 billion. It sold Verisk Financial Services to Sphera in 2024. It divested 3E, its environmental health and safety compliance business, to Industrial Logic Group. What remains is a tightly integrated insurance technology platform built around a handful of crown-jewel franchises: ISO (the Insurance Services Office, which provides industry-standard policy language, statistical rating data, and loss cost benchmarks for nearly every U.S. P&C insurer); AIR Worldwide (catastrophe modeling for hurricanes, earthquakes, severe convective storms, wildfire, and increasingly climate-driven perils); Xactware (the dominant claims estimating platform used by adjusters and contractors after property losses); Argus (auto insurance and consumer credit data); and a growing set of anti-fraud and underwriting analytics tools that sit between insurance carriers and their policyholders. The practical implication for a job seeker is that Verisk is no longer a diversified "data company." It is an insurance company that happens to express itself through software, statistics, machine learning, and actuarial science. Roles that feel adjacent to insurance — pure platform engineering with no domain context, generalist data science work, broad-based corporate functions — still exist, but they are evaluated through an insurance lens. Hiring managers will ask, sometimes implicitly, whether you understand or are eager to learn how loss cost development works, what a combined ratio is, why a hurricane model matters more in Q3 than Q1, or how a rate filing makes its way through fifty state insurance departments. Candidates who arrive curious about the industry tend to advance further than candidates who treat the role as a generic tech job at a Jersey City fintech. The geographic footprint also matters. Jersey City is the corporate center and houses ISO, executive leadership, and the bulk of actuarial, product, and corporate functions. Boston is the historical home of AIR Worldwide and remains the center of catastrophe modeling and climate research. Lehi, Utah is the home of Xactware and the center of property estimation, claims technology, and the broader contractor-facing ecosystem. Hyderabad, India is the largest engineering hub by headcount and powers a substantial share of platform engineering, data engineering, and quality assurance work. Krakow, Poland and Malaga, Spain are growing engineering and shared-services centers. London anchors Verisk's UK and European insurance presence and is also home to Whitespace Software, the specialty-insurance digital placement platform Verisk acquired in 2024. Remote and hybrid work is offered for many roles in the United States, but Verisk has been incrementally pulling more responsibilities back toward its anchor offices — an honest read of recent postings shows "Hybrid" attached to a meaningful share of Jersey City and European requisitions. Verisk's culture is best described as quietly intense. It is not a place that markets itself with the bravado of a consumer technology company, and it does not try to. Compensation is competitive but not Silicon Valley peak. Benefits are strong, especially around health, retirement, and parental leave, with a noticeable emphasis on long-term tenure and internal mobility. Many employees stay for a decade or more, particularly inside the actuarial and underwriting analytics tracks, where domain expertise compounds over years. The company's recent posture toward generative AI — particularly inside claims, fraud detection, and underwriting decision support — has injected new energy into engineering and data science roles, but it is being deployed cautiously, with a regulator-aware mindset rather than a move-fast posture. That posture is appropriate for a company whose customers are insurance carriers operating under fifty state regulators and increasingly granular international supervisory regimes.

Application Process

1
Visit the official careers site at verisk
Visit the official careers site at verisk.com/company/careers/ to browse openings, learn about culture, benefits, and the four major business units (ISO, AIR Worldwide, Xactware, and the broader insurance solutions portfolio). The 'Search Jobs' button routes you to the Oracle HCM Candidate Experience site at fa-ewmy-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com — note the unusual domain. It is a legitimate Verisk-controlled tenant of Oracle Cloud, not a phishing redirect.
2
Filter by location, category, work arrangement (Remote, Hybrid, or On-Site), and
Filter by location, category, work arrangement (Remote, Hybrid, or On-Site), and division. Pay attention to the 'Posting Date' field — Verisk reposts requisitions when they expand a search, so a recent date is generally a stronger signal than an older one. The division filter is especially useful: it lets you separate ISO (industry rating and loss cost work), AIR (catastrophe modeling), Xactware (claims estimating), and Verisk's corporate functions.
3
Create an Oracle HCM candidate account before you apply
Create an Oracle HCM candidate account before you apply. You can sign up with email and password, or with Google or LinkedIn single sign-on. Using a password-managed account from the start is strongly recommended because Oracle HCM does not gracefully merge duplicate profiles created later under different sign-in methods.
4
Upload a single, clean PDF or Word resume
Upload a single, clean PDF or Word resume. Oracle HCM will parse it into structured fields covering work history, education, skills, and certifications. Always review the parsed output before submitting — Oracle's parser handles standard one-column chronological resumes well but mishandles multi-column layouts, custom fonts, icons, and embedded tables. Misparsed dates and job titles are the single most common reason qualified candidates get filtered out at the screening stage.
5
Complete the questionnaire honestly
Complete the questionnaire honestly. Verisk uses Oracle HCM's pre-screening question framework to filter on right-to-work status, location proximity, willingness to relocate, salary expectations, and required certifications. Some actuarial roles will ask which Society of Actuaries (SOA) or Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) exams you have passed; some engineering roles will ask about specific cloud certifications.
6
Tailor your resume to the specific requisition
Tailor your resume to the specific requisition. Mirror the skills, tools, and frameworks listed in the job description using the same vocabulary. Oracle HCM does keyword-match against the job posting and surfaces matched skills to the recruiter dashboard. A resume that uses 'Snowflake, dbt, Airflow' verbatim because the posting does is meaningfully more visible than one that says 'cloud data warehouse and orchestration tools.'
7
Submit and confirm the on-screen confirmation
Submit and confirm the on-screen confirmation. You should receive an automated email from a Verisk Oracle HCM domain within minutes. If you do not, check your spam folder and verify your candidate profile shows the application as 'Submitted' rather than 'Draft.' Drafts are invisible to recruiters.
8
Apply directly through the Oracle HCM site rather than through LinkedIn Easy App
Apply directly through the Oracle HCM site rather than through LinkedIn Easy Apply when possible. LinkedIn applications do flow through to Verisk recruiters, but the resume parsing on the LinkedIn side is less rigorous, and you lose the ability to attach tailored cover letters or supplementary documents.
9
If you have a referral, ask the employee to submit it through Verisk's internal
If you have a referral, ask the employee to submit it through Verisk's internal referral system before you apply externally. Internal referrals are flagged in Oracle HCM and routed to recruiters with priority. Apply externally only after the referral is submitted, ideally within forty-eight hours.
10
Expect a recruiter outreach window of one to three weeks for engineering and dat
Expect a recruiter outreach window of one to three weeks for engineering and data roles, and two to four weeks for actuarial and analytics roles. Verisk's recruiting team is staffed for thoroughness rather than speed. If you have not heard back within four weeks and the requisition is still open, a polite follow-up to the recruiter (often discoverable on LinkedIn) is reasonable.

Resume Tips for Verisk Analytics

recommended

Use a single-column, ATS-friendly layout with standard section headings — Summar

Use a single-column, ATS-friendly layout with standard section headings — Summary, Experience, Education, Skills, Certifications. Oracle HCM's parser is reliable on this format and unreliable on creative layouts. Reserve visual design for the portfolio site or interview leave-behind, not the application document.

recommended

Quantify insurance, financial, or analytics impact in dollar terms wherever poss

Quantify insurance, financial, or analytics impact in dollar terms wherever possible. Verisk's customers measure everything in basis points, loss ratios, and dollars-of-loss-avoided. A bullet that reads 'Reduced model retraining time from 14 days to 3 days, saving an estimated $400K annually in compute' lands harder than 'Improved ML pipeline efficiency.'

recommended

For actuarial roles, prominently list SOA or CAS exam progress (e

For actuarial roles, prominently list SOA or CAS exam progress (e.g., 'CAS: Exams 1, 2, 3F, MAS-I passed; MAS-II scheduled') near the top of the resume. Verisk's actuarial hiring managers explicitly look for this and use it as a primary credential signal. Also list any VEE credits and the FCAS or ACAS designation if applicable.

recommended

For data scientist and ML roles, lead with the modeling techniques, frameworks,

For data scientist and ML roles, lead with the modeling techniques, frameworks, and cloud platforms you actually use day-to-day — Python, scikit-learn, PyTorch, XGBoost, MLflow, SageMaker, Databricks, Snowflake. Verisk's data stack is heavily AWS-centric with Snowflake and Databricks layered on top, so AWS-specific experience is a strong signal. Mention any work with geospatial data, weather data, satellite imagery, or actuarial datasets — these map directly to AIR and ISO use cases.

recommended

For software engineering roles, distinguish clearly between Java,

For software engineering roles, distinguish clearly between Java, .NET, and Python work in your bullets. Verisk runs all three at scale: Xactware is heavily .NET-based, ISO platform work is a mix of Java and Python, and newer microservices skew Python-on-AWS. Also call out experience with regulated, audited, or high-availability systems — insurance carriers care about uptime and auditability above almost everything else.

recommended

Insurance domain vocabulary is a force multiplier on your resume

Insurance domain vocabulary is a force multiplier on your resume. If you have worked anywhere near underwriting, claims, actuarial pricing, reinsurance, catastrophe modeling, fraud detection, or compliance, name those domains explicitly. Verisk hiring managers scan for terms like 'loss cost,' 'rate filing,' 'combined ratio,' 'cat model,' 'first notice of loss (FNOL),' 'subrogation,' and 'ISO forms.'

recommended

List certifications cleanly: AWS Solutions Architect, AWS Machine Learning Speci

List certifications cleanly: AWS Solutions Architect, AWS Machine Learning Specialty, Azure DevOps Engineer, Snowflake SnowPro, Databricks Certified ML Engineer, PMP, Six Sigma, and the actuarial designations above. Oracle HCM has a structured certifications section that recruiters filter against.

recommended

Keep the resume to two pages for senior roles and one page for early-career and

Keep the resume to two pages for senior roles and one page for early-career and intern roles. Verisk recruiters read quickly and value density over length. A third page is acceptable only for principal-level engineers and senior actuaries with publication or patent records that genuinely require the space.

recommended

Avoid headshots, marital status, date of birth, and other personal information c

Avoid headshots, marital status, date of birth, and other personal information common in some non-U.S. resume traditions. Verisk operates in many markets where these conventions vary, but its central recruiting team in Jersey City and Hyderabad applies U.S.-style ATS norms.

recommended

Save the file with a clear, professional filename — 'JaneDoe_DataScientist_Veris

Save the file with a clear, professional filename — 'JaneDoe_DataScientist_Verisk.pdf' — and submit as PDF unless the job posting explicitly requests Word. PDFs preserve formatting through Oracle HCM's parser and look more polished if a recruiter downloads the file directly.

ATS System: Oracle HCM Cloud (Candidate Experience)

Verisk Analytics uses Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud — specifically the Candidate Experience module — for all global recruiting. The candidate-facing portal lives at fa-ewmy-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/jobs and is reached through the 'Search Jobs' button on verisk.com/company/careers/. Oracle HCM is the same enterprise ATS used by a large share of Fortune 500 companies, including many insurers, banks, and healthcare systems. It is robust, well-instrumented, and tightly integrated with Oracle's broader HR suite — but it is also famously rigid about resume parsing and questionnaire compliance.

Bookmark the Oracle HCM candidate URL once you create your account. The unusual hostname is a frequent source of confusion, and copying the URL avoids navigating from the marketing site every time.
Always use the same email address across applications. Oracle HCM ties your candidate profile, application history, and recruiter notes to your email. Creating a second account with a different email fragments your history and can hide you from recruiters who already viewed your first profile.
Review the parsed resume carefully after upload. Oracle HCM displays the structured output before you submit. Fix any misparsed job titles, dates, or skills directly in the form rather than re-uploading a slightly different file, which can cause the parser to fail in new ways.
Answer pre-screening questions exactly. If a question asks 'Do you have authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship?' answer truthfully. Oracle HCM uses these answers as hard filters; an inaccurate answer that triggers a downstream conflict will end the conversation immediately.
Track your applications in the candidate dashboard. Oracle HCM shows real-time status: Submitted, Under Review, Interview, Offer, or Closed. Status changes are the most reliable signal of where you stand — more reliable than waiting for emails, which can be delayed or filtered.
Set up email notifications inside the candidate profile. Oracle HCM can email you about new requisitions matching your saved searches, which is a useful low-effort way to catch new postings in a specific division or location.
If you encounter a technical error during application — particularly a stuck upload or a session timeout — use a desktop browser rather than mobile. Oracle HCM is functional on mobile but is engineered for desktop, and intermittent issues almost always disappear on a laptop.
Do not submit the same application multiple times. Oracle HCM blocks duplicate submissions to the same requisition, but repeated attempts can flag your profile in the recruiter dashboard as potentially erratic. One clean application is sufficient.

Interview Culture

Verisk's interview process is structured, multi-stage, and varies by function, but a recognizable shape applies across most engineering, data, actuarial, and product roles.

Expect four to five rounds spanning roughly three to six weeks from first recruiter call to offer. The pacing skews toward thoroughness — Verisk is a long-tenure company that hires deliberately, and the recruiting calendar reflects that. Candidates who treat the process as a sprint often grow frustrated; candidates who treat it as a serious mutual evaluation tend to do well. The first round is almost always a thirty-minute screening call with a recruiter. Topics include your background, motivation for applying, location and work-arrangement preferences, salary expectations, work authorization, and a few targeted questions calibrated to the role. Recruiters at Verisk are well-prepared and have read your resume; vague answers get probed. Be ready to articulate clearly why you are interested in insurance data specifically, not just data analytics generally. The second round is typically a hiring-manager conversation, lasting forty-five to sixty minutes. This is where domain fit gets evaluated. For an actuarial role, the hiring manager will probe your understanding of loss cost development, rate adequacy, exam progression, and your reasoning style on a small actuarial vignette. For a data scientist role, expect a discussion of past projects with specific probing into modeling choices, validation strategy, business impact, and how you would approach a Verisk-flavored problem (for example: 'How would you build a model to detect fraudulent property claims?'). For a software engineer role, expect architectural discussion, system design tradeoffs, and a walkthrough of a recent project. Hiring managers at Verisk tend to be senior practitioners — current or former actuaries, principal engineers, model developers — and they listen carefully for technical depth versus surface-level fluency. The third and fourth rounds are technical panels, typically split across two interviews with two interviewers each. Engineering candidates can expect coding (often a moderate LeetCode-style problem in your language of choice), system design (with insurance-flavored constraints around data privacy, regulatory audit trails, or high-throughput batch processing), and a behavioral or collaboration-focused conversation. Data science candidates can expect a take-home or live case study built around insurance data, plus statistical and ML conceptual questions. Actuarial candidates can expect a structured case interview with a quantitative reasoning component, sometimes including a written or whiteboard exercise, and a deeper exam-progress and credentialing discussion. The final round is typically with a director or VP, focused on strategic thinking, cultural fit, and long-term career interest. Verisk values employees who want to grow within the company and within the insurance industry, not employees treating the role as a stepping stone. Questions in this round can feel philosophical — 'How do you think about the role of AI in regulated industries?' or 'Where do you see catastrophe modeling going in the next decade?' — and they reward candidates who have done genuine reading. Culturally, Verisk is professional, courteous, and quietly serious. Interviews start on time, run on time, and end with clear next steps. Interviewers take notes, ask follow-up questions, and circulate detailed feedback through Oracle HCM's recruiting workflow. Decisions are made by consensus rather than by a single interviewer's veto, which means the process can feel slower than at smaller companies but also more fair. Offers, when extended, are firm and usually delivered verbally by the recruiter with a written package following within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

What Verisk Analytics Looks For

Genuine curiosity about the insurance industry — not necessarily prior insurance experience, but a willingness to learn how rate filings, loss cost development, catastrophe modeling, and claims operations actually work in practice.
Strong technical depth in your stated specialty. Verisk hires senior practitioners more than it hires generalists. Engineers should be excellent at one or two languages and ecosystems. Data scientists should have real production ML deployment experience, not just notebook work.
Comfort with regulated, audited environments. Insurance is supervised by fifty state insurance departments in the United States and a patchwork of international regulators. Candidates who have worked in any regulated industry — insurance, banking, healthcare, pharmaceuticals — have a meaningful edge.
Quantitative reasoning ability. This is most explicit for actuarial and data science roles, but it shows up in engineering and product interviews too. Verisk's products are built on statistical models and the people who build them think statistically.
Communication skills with non-technical stakeholders. Many Verisk customers are underwriters, claims adjusters, and insurance executives who are not data scientists or software engineers. The ability to explain a model or a system in plain language is a recurring evaluation criterion.
Long-term orientation. Verisk values employees who plan to grow with the company. The interview process is calibrated to identify candidates who are likely to stay for years, not months. Demonstrated patterns of three-plus-year tenures on your resume help.
Cloud and modern data platform fluency. AWS is the dominant cloud, and Snowflake and Databricks anchor much of the analytical infrastructure. Familiarity with Python, SQL, dbt, Airflow, and modern observability tooling is increasingly table stakes across data roles.
Domain-adjacent credentials. SOA or CAS exams for actuarial roles, AWS or Snowflake certifications for data and engineering roles, PMP for program management, CISSP or similar for security roles. Verisk recruiters filter on these explicitly.
Collaboration across geography. With major hubs in Jersey City, Boston, Lehi, Hyderabad, Krakow, Malaga, and London, almost every meaningful project involves cross-time-zone collaboration. Comfort with asynchronous work and clear written communication is essential.
Integrity. Verisk products are foundational to how the U.S. insurance industry prices risk and pays claims. Errors and shortcuts have real economic and human consequences. Hiring managers select for candidates who treat that responsibility seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Verisk Analytics use an ATS, and if so, which one?

Yes. Verisk uses Oracle HCM Cloud (specifically the Candidate Experience module) for all global recruiting. The candidate portal is hosted on an Oracle-controlled domain (fa-ewmy-saasfaprod1.fa.ocs.oraclecloud.com) but is fully owned and operated by Verisk. All applications, status updates, and recruiter communication flow through this system.

Is Verisk still part of the energy and financial services industries?

No. Verisk completed a multi-year divestiture program between 2022 and 2024. It sold Wood Mackenzie (energy research) to Veritas Capital in 2022, sold Verisk Financial Services to Sphera in 2024, and sold 3E (environmental health and safety) to Industrial Logic Group in 2024. Verisk today is a focused, pure-play property and casualty (P&C) insurance company.

Where is Verisk headquartered, and where are the major offices?

Verisk's corporate headquarters is at 545 Washington Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey. Major U.S. offices include Boston (home of AIR Worldwide catastrophe modeling) and Lehi, Utah (home of Xactware claims estimation). Major international offices are in Hyderabad, India (largest engineering hub by headcount), Krakow, Poland; Malaga, Spain; and London, United Kingdom (insurance and Whitespace Software).

What roles is Verisk most actively hiring for?

The most consistent demand is in actuarial science, data science and machine learning, software engineering (Python, Java, .NET, and AWS-centric stacks), insurance domain product specialists, and B2B sales to insurance carriers. There is also growing demand in climate and catastrophe modeling, generative AI for claims and underwriting, and platform and data engineering roles in Hyderabad and Krakow.

What is the interview process like at Verisk?

Most roles follow a four-to-five-round process spanning three to six weeks: a thirty-minute recruiter screen, a forty-five to sixty-minute hiring manager conversation, two technical or case panels (with two interviewers each), and a final round with a director or VP. Engineering candidates face coding and system design. Data scientists face a case study and ML conceptual questions. Actuarial candidates face quantitative case interviews and credentialing discussions.

Do I need insurance industry experience to be hired at Verisk?

Not strictly, but you do need genuine curiosity about the industry. Many successful candidates come from adjacent regulated industries (banking, healthcare, pharmaceuticals) or from pure technology backgrounds. What matters is the willingness and ability to learn how insurance pricing, claims, catastrophe modeling, and compliance work. Hiring managers can detect surface-level interest from genuine engagement quickly.

Is Verisk remote-friendly?

Verisk offers remote and hybrid arrangements for many U.S. roles, but the company has been incrementally pulling more responsibilities back toward its anchor offices in Jersey City, Boston, and Lehi. International roles in Krakow, Malaga, Hyderabad, and London are typically hybrid with regular in-office presence. The work-arrangement filter on the Oracle HCM job site shows Remote, Hybrid, or On-Site for each requisition — check before applying.

How long does the application process typically take?

From first application to recruiter outreach is usually one to three weeks for engineering and data roles, and two to four weeks for actuarial and analytics roles. From first recruiter call to offer is typically three to six weeks. Verisk recruits deliberately rather than quickly — candidates who plan accordingly tend to have a better experience.

What should I emphasize on my resume for a Verisk application?

Lead with quantified impact in dollar or basis-point terms. Use a single-column ATS-friendly layout. List actuarial exam progress (SOA or CAS) prominently for actuarial roles. List specific technologies and cloud platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Databricks, Python, Java, .NET) for engineering and data roles. Use insurance vocabulary explicitly if you have any relevant experience. Mirror keywords from the job description exactly.

Does Verisk sponsor work visas?

Verisk does sponsor work visas for some U.S. roles, particularly senior engineering and actuarial positions, though sponsorship varies by role and business need. The Oracle HCM application asks directly about your current work authorization status. Answer truthfully — misrepresentation surfaces later in the process and ends the conversation. International offices in Krakow, Malaga, Hyderabad, and London hire local talent and typically do not sponsor international relocation.

What is the company culture like at Verisk?

Quietly intense, professional, and long-tenured. Verisk does not market itself with bravado. Many employees stay for a decade or more, particularly in actuarial and underwriting analytics. The company values careful, audit-aware decision-making appropriate for an industry supervised by fifty state insurance departments and international regulators. It is not a fast-and-loose culture, and it does not pretend to be.

What recent developments should I be aware of before interviewing?

Three things. First, the pure-play P&C transformation is complete — Verisk is no longer a diversified data company. Second, the 2024 acquisition of Whitespace Software expanded Verisk's specialty insurance and Lloyd's of London digital placement footprint. Third, Verisk is investing significantly in generative AI for claims handling, fraud detection, and underwriting decision support — a deliberate, regulator-aware push that is creating new engineering and applied AI roles.
