The Challenge
Ledgebrook was founded with a clear vision: combine best-in-class pricing and risk selection with a next-gen tech stack to provide wholesale brokers with the fastest, easiest quoting experience in the E&S market. We have helped Ledgebrook scale from an early-stage startup into a 150-person team that has secured over $150 million in total venture funding, processes 10,000 submissions monthly, and is rapidly closing in on its 2027 goal of becoming a full-stack carrier.
This fast-growing insurtech startup, faced major challenges scaling its team due to critical talent gaps in underwriting, actuarial, and insurance operations roles. With an ambitious six-month growth plan, they needed highly skilled professionals quickly while maintaining a remote-first, agile culture in a competitive market.
Traditional recruitment methods proved too slow and costly, often failing to deliver candidates with the right mix of technical expertise and cultural fit.

Our focus on quality and cultural alignment drove a 95% retention rate, 15% higher performance outcomes, and over $1.5M in cost savings—supporting 2200% headcount growth and long-term business success.
Hear From Ledgebrook COO:
Insurance people know two ways:
1. Headhunters
2. Recruitment consultants
You are both... There is something special in that story. You also ‘just work’ with no bullshit. Recruitment agencies and headhunters are essentially snake oil salespeople. You do what you say you are going to do, consistently.”
Adrian Copland
Ledgebrook COO
