Who hires an insurance adjuster?

Both insurance companies and independent adjusting companies hire insurance adjusters. Jobs are varied from entry-level to catastrophe adjusters. Pay also varies from the mid-30's to six figures.

Job boards such as monster.com and catadjuster.org post available jobs. Companies typically look for licensed adjusters, so it is best that someone interested in obtaining a job as a claims adjuster first obtain his or her state's license.

Florida allows licensing through the ACA (Accredited Claims Adjuster) Designation. The designation is offered through in the University of Central Florida in partnership with Florida Insurance University. The designation excuses the student from the state licensing test.
