Top Underwriter Interview Questions & How To Answer
Question 1
Question #1: When reviewing a claim, what factors could determine a higher risk level?
How to answer
How to answer: As an underwriter, you're responsible for ensuring that all claims, loans, and/or policies have a low level of risk to protect the interest of the individual or company issuing payment, funds, or coverage. When you answer this question, talk about the process you follow to assess the potential risk of each individual item you review. Include manual review processes and any AI- or computer-driven review processes.
Question 2
Question #2: Have you ever disagreed with another party involved in a claim or policy review?
How to answer
How to answer: Underwriters work with various individuals in the underwriting and review process, so they might disagree with one or more of those individuals. This question allows you to demonstrate your problem-solving and communication skills when you encounter conflict. As you answer, describe a specific situation with the STAR method: Situation, Action, Task, Result.
Question 3
Question #3: How do you manage multiple claims or requests?
How to answer
How to answer: An underwriter often works on multiple claims at once, so they need strong organizational and prioritization skills. In your answer to this question, you can outline any specific tools or processes you use when managing multiple requests, as well as how you manage deadlines and timelines. Since underwriters often have to submit their responses to requests within a certain timeline, it's important to have good time management skills.
