Major insurance companies are &#34;recruiting troops&#34;
Every March marks the peak season for spring recruitment in insurance companies. Beijing Business Daily found that recently, China Life Group, Ping An, PICC Group, Taikang Insurance Group, Sunshine Insurance Group, ZhongAn Insurance, and other insurance companies have successively announced their 2026 spring campus recruitment plans. In this fierce &#34;talent reserve battle,&#34; various insurance companies are launching new positions and talent training programs to attract more outstanding talents.
For insurance companies, campus recruitment is an important way to reserve talent and reflects the focus and direction of their business layout. Specifically, PICC is offering over 2,000 positions in this spring recruitment, with recruitment units including PICC Property and Casualty, PICC Life, PICC Health, and more than ten subsidiaries, covering fields such as insurance, technology, and investment. Ping An has also opened recruitment for positions in over 40 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Wuhan.
Overall, leading insurance companies' recruitment shows characteristics of national layout, full coverage of positions, and large recruitment scale, with recruitment cities extending from first-tier cities to county-level areas; in terms of talent demand, it covers majors such as insurance, actuarial science, economics, finance, mathematics, statistics, medicine, finance, and law; recruitment positions involve various fields including insurance, marketing planning, financial technology, healthcare, product actuarial, and investment.
High demand for AI talent
With the deep penetration of technologies such as artificial intelligence and large models in the financial sector, facing increasingly fierce market competition, insurance companies are ramping up their investments in digital finance and technology finance, making AI and large model talents the core direction of recruitment.
For instance, Sunshine Insurance Group has specifically opened technology line recruitment in this spring recruitment, hiring for positions such as algorithms, large model architecture, big data development, Java development, and security management. Zhonghong Insurance has launched the LINK IT campus recruitment project, opening applications for IT product manager and IT digital technology positions. Additionally, Taikang Insurance Group's recruitment needs mentioned the Taikang AI Star program, and China Life Group has also released recruitment needs for technology finance positions.
Wang Zhangming, a member of the Enterprise Talent Work Committee of the China International Science and Technology Promotion Association, stated that the rapid development of artificial intelligence is forcing various industries to accelerate their transformation and upgrading, and even industries or companies that seem to have low relevance to artificial intelligence or do not urgently need it are joining the competition for AI and technology talents
It can be seen that traditional industries such as finance and insurance are also focusing on &#34;AI+&#34; composite talents.
In fact, insurance companies are not only competing for talent but also laying the foundation for their digital transformation and future development. Although the pace of layout varies among insurance companies, many industry insiders believe that, in the long run, AI talent will inevitably become a high ground in the talent competition for insurance companies.
&#34;The AI talent boom is backed by a comprehensive strategic upgrade and model transformation in the insurance industry,&#34; said Lin Xianping, associate professor at Zhejiang University City College and executive deputy secretary-general of the Expert Advisory Committee on Urban Issues. He believes that the current digital transformation of the industry has entered a deep-water zone, with technology shifting from backend support to core driving force. AI is no longer an auxiliary tool but a key factor in reconstructing the entire chain of product design, risk control pricing, and claims service. At the same time, insurance companies are accelerating the layout of a digital intelligence ecosystem, with strong demand for high-end technical positions such as large models, algorithms, and intelligent computing, marking the industry's transformation towards a technology-driven model. This trend also reflects that the insurance industry is leveraging AI technology to enhance service efficiency, optimize risk management, explore new business tracks through technological innovation, build core competitiveness in the digital intelligence era, and promote high-quality development of the industry towards efficiency, intelligence, and innovation.
In addition to the &#34;talent grab&#34; during recruitment periods, regular talent cultivation also needs to be prioritized. Industry insiders suggest that insurance institutions should strengthen cooperation with universities, through curriculum reform, industry-university-research collaboration, and practical teaching, to proactively reserve high-quality composite talents in financial technology to support future corporate development.
