How much is manual resume screening costing your insurance business? See the full ROI breakdown — including 676 hours/year, $53K in savings, and a < 14 days payback period.

The True Cost of Manual Resume Screening

Manual resume screening is one of the biggest hidden costs in insurance businesses. Between the direct labor costs — 14 hours per week at $60/hour — and the indirect costs of errors, delays, and missed opportunities, most insurance teams are spending far more than they realize. When a single mistake in resume screening can cascade into customer churn, compliance issues, or revenue loss, the true cost of "good enough" manual processes becomes staggering.

The good news: automating resume screening with AI delivers one of the fastest payback periods of any business investment. By eliminating repetitive manual work, reducing errors by 82%, and scaling capacity without adding headcount, insurance businesses are seeing annual savings of $53K or more. Below, we break down exactly where those savings come from — with transparent assumptions so you can map this to your own numbers.
