EmploymentCrossing, one of the world’s largest job-board operators, announced last week the launch of UnderwritingCrossing. As part of the EmploymentCrossing job-site franchise, UnderwritingCrossing seeks to list every underwriting job in the United States in one convenient location. Using proprietary technology, UnderwritingCrossing monitors the underwriting job postings on other job websites and other sources and displays every single underwriting job it can find. UnderwritingCrossing’s goal is to show job seekers every underwriting job available.

Pasadena, CA — Finding a job as an underwriter is a Herculean task for many. UnderwritingCrossing (www.underwritingcrossing.com), which was recently launched by EmploymentCrossing (www.employmentcrossing.com), aims to list all types of underwriting jobs as well as provide details on career advancement opportunities and employment information related to the industry.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, underwriters held about 104,000 jobs in 2006. The bureau predicts employment in the underwriting field will only grow by about 6% between 2006 and 2016. Yet according to government statistics, new and emerging fields of insurance will boost job prospects for underwriters.

''In this market it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies,'' says Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of UnderwritingCrossing. ''Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.''

UnderwritingCrossing was launched to help underwriting professionals sort out the opportunities that they might not discover otherwise. Unlike other job boards, the site focuses solely on underwriting-related jobs, and it does not charge employers to post jobs.

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site thus far have been:

underwriting jobs
underwriter jobs
mortgage underwriter jobs
underwriter job description
mortgage underwriting jobs

insurance underwriting jobs

mortgage underwriter job
insurance underwriter jobs
mortgage underwriter job description
insurance underwriter job
contract underwriting jobs
life underwriting jobs
insurance underwriter job description
loan underwriter jobs

''There is an astonishing number of underwriting job openings out there. We want to find them all,'' Barnes says.

UnderwritingCrossing charges $29.95 a month to view its job-opening research. As part of the site’s launch special, however, UnderwritingCrossing is offering a free, seven-day trial to allow job seekers to familiarize themselves with the service.

Only UnderwritingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.

We have more jobs than any other job board.
We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
