Testimonials
“I really enjoyed my time at Arch, and a big part of that was thanks to how welcoming and supportive my team were. The working environment was great. I always felt comfortable speaking to people, even outside my department, and everyone was approachable and friendly from day one.”

“The recruitment process for the graduate programme at Arch provided plenty of opportunities to demonstrate your strengths throughout and it was clear the recruiters wanted you to succeed. The interviewers and assessors were approachable and welcoming which created a relaxed atmosphere in the final stages and helped put me at ease.”
— 2025 Graduate
“My apprenticeship allows me to work and learn simultaneously. The apprenticeship allows me to demonstrate my work ethic in a practical environment whilst having the theory learning in the background to compliment my practical learning. You could never find in a classroom where you learn so much on a chosen career. Arch allows me to build up the skills and experience necessary for my chosen pathway, with the help and support of highly skilled underwriters. Talking with intermediaries (brokers) and having to make evidence-based decisions, are just a couple, of the many, great parts of my apprenticeship.”

“Unlike other graduate recruitment processes, Arch allowed me to share my voice from the beginning. It meant that recruiters looked beyond my CV and developed a more accurate understanding of my potential. Additionally, the in-person assessment day provided an invaluable and unique insight into Arch and the broader insurance industry.
I would really encourage any future graduates to apply!”
