Highlight your claims processing speed and accuracy

Employers want to see evidence of your ability to efficiently and accurately process claims. Use metrics to demonstrate your speed and precision, such as:

• Processed an average of 50 claims per day with a 98% accuracy rate
• Reduced average claims processing time by 20% through process improvements
• Maintained a 99.5% accuracy rate while handling a caseload of 200+ claims per month

   Showcase your expertise with relevant claims software

Proficiency with industry-standard claims processing software is a must-have for Claims Analysts. Highlight your experience with tools like:

• Xactimate
• Colossus
• ClaimCenter
• Guidewire
• Duck Creek

Don't just list the software names; provide context around how you used them to improve claims outcomes. For example:

• Used Xactimate to generate detailed damage estimates, resulting in a 15% reduction in claim settlement times
• Leveraged Guidewire to automate claims assignments, increasing department productivity by 25%

   Emphasize your investigative and analytical skills

Claims Analysts often need to investigate suspicious or complex claims. Showcase examples of how you've used your analytical skills to achieve positive outcomes, such as:

• Investigated a series of suspicious auto glass claims, uncovering a fraud ring and saving the company $500K in potential losses
• Analyzed claims data to identify trends, resulting in process changes that reduced average claim cycle time by 10 days

Avoid generic statements that don't demonstrate your specific impact, like:

• Investigated suspicious claims
• Analyzed claims data to find areas for improvement

   Demonstrate your customer service focus

Claims Analysts are often the primary point of contact for claimants. Highlight your ability to provide excellent customer service, even in challenging situations. For example:

Consistently earned top customer satisfaction ratings (95%+) while handling a variety of complex claims, including total losses and injury claims. Known for ability to empathize with claimants while clearly explaining the claims process and setting appropriate expectations.

Steer clear of vague, unsupported statements like:

• Provided great customer service to claimants
• Handled customer complaints and issues

   Quantify your claims handling experience

Employers want to see the scope and scale of your claims experience. Quantify the number and types of claims you've handled, such as:

• Processed 10,000+ auto insurance claims, including bodily injury, property damage, and glass claims
• Managed a caseload of 50-60 workers' compensation indemnity claims at a time
• Handled 500+ commercial property claims, with an average claim value of $75,000

Don't rely on general descriptors that don't give a clear picture of your experience level, like:

• Handled all types of insurance claims
• Managed a large caseload of workers' comp claims

   Show your impact on key claims metrics

Ultimately, Claims Analysts are responsible for controlling claims costs and improving the bottom line. Use specific examples to show how you've positively impacted key metrics, such as:

• Negotiated settlements on bodily injury claims, resulting in a 20% reduction in average payout
• Implemented a return-to-work program for workers' comp claimants, reducing average claim duration by 15 days
• Recovered $1M in subrogation on property damage claims

Avoid broad claims about your impact that lack supporting data, like:

• Reduced claims costs for the company
• Improved claims processing efficiency
