Get On the Roster and Stay There
When you’re new to the property claims adjusting world—or even if you’ve been in it for a while—staffing firms (also called IA firms or independent adjusting firms) can be the bridge between training and deployment. These are the companies that contract with major insurance carriers and send adjusters into the field when storms hit or claims spike.
At MileHigh Adjusters Houston, we train you to be deployment-ready. But knowing how staffing firms operate—and how to stand out to them—is what helps get you on their list and keeps you there.
Here’s what you need to know to get noticed and stay ready.
- Staffing Firms Are the Gatekeepers to Opportunity
Independent adjusters don’t usually work directly for insurance companies. Instead, they’re contracted by staffing firms who manage adjuster rosters and dispatch professionals when the need arises.
Whether it’s a CAT event like a hurricane or daily claims work in a certain region, these firms turn to trusted, trained, and licensed adjusters first. That means if you’re not connected to the right firms—or if you’re on their list but haven’t stood out—you could miss the call.
- What Are Staffing Firms Really Looking For?
There’s more to it than having a license. Here’s what firms want in an adjuster:
- Proper licensing (like the Texas All-Lines License)
- Xactimate proficiency
- Real-world readiness—they want people who can hit the ground running
- Strong communication and organization skills
- A professional attitude—especially under pressure
- Proven training—firms look for adjusters trained by credible programs (like ours)
- How to Stand Out to Staffing Firms
If you want to get noticed, start by doing the little things most adjusters overlook:
✅ Complete your firm profiles 100% – Many adjusters leave important fields blank. Be the one who stands out with a professional photo, updated licenses, certifications, and an introduction that showcases your training and availability.
✅ Get industry-certified – Taking and passing your Xactimate Level 1 or Level 2 tests proves your commitment and capability.
✅ Communicate clearly and quickly – When a storm hits, speed matters. Responding to emails and calls within minutes—not hours—can make or break your chance of getting deployed.
✅ Follow up – If you haven’t heard back from a firm after submitting your info, don’t assume they’re not interested. A polite follow-up shows initiative.
✅ Mention your training – Let firms know you trained with MileHigh Adjusters Houston. Our reputation carries weight, and we often hear from firms who trust our grads to deliver results.
- Be Deployment-Ready Before the Call
The worst time to prepare is when the storm is already on the radar.
Have these ready before the phone rings:
- Current license and certifications
- Your laptop, Xactimate installed, internet hotspot, and gear
- Reliable transportation and a flexible schedule
- An understanding of how deployments work (which we teach in our Boot Camp)
- We Help You Get Connected
When you train with MileHigh Adjusters Houston, we don’t just give you the skills—we help you build relationships. We actively connect our students with staffing firms, share deployment opportunities, and show you how to present yourself professionally to decision-makers.
Many of our graduates are referred into deployments directly after finishing our course—not just because of what they know, but because they were trained to stand out.
