So our TM told us today to expect a survey in the next couple of days about our interest in moving to Proximity. Said they're hiring over 600 CS jobs and over 80 Team Manager jobs in field locations all over the US. They said it was staffing neutral and if they do not get enough people they will hire from the outside. That means probably some buyout opportunities coming that way for Fire company. There will not be a lot of takers for the Proximity jobs! They will have to shed at least 300-400 Claims specialist and 40-50 Team Managers to keep it staffing neutral. With the new SFPSP program coming in and more AI, most in Fire company are done. Better get your self ready!

You weren’t kidding. They posted 15 Proximity TM openings today…
For those who think proximity will provide more job security, remember that they have been investing in AI and this new SFPSP program. You will need fewer adjusters if contractors are writing scopes that you just need to review and approve. They are also feeding your file notes, scopes, and documentation to have programs learn repair scopes. Xactimate is piloting programs that write repair estimates from photos alone. They are sending people to the field but do I would not expect them to need all these adjusters in 5-10 years.
