Use a service for recruiting insurance agents

Sit back and let someone else do the work for you. Simply let the insurance recruiting companies know what position you need to fill as well as the qualifications required for the position and they will introduce you to candidates that match your needs.

I recommend: Contact Jacobson Associates for your insurance recruiting needs. They offer many locations around the United States. The Kaufman Agency is another good choice, with over 10 years of experience in insurance recruiting.

Hire Insurance headhunters to recruit at the executive level

It is particularly helpful to use executive recruiting for the insurance industry when you have upper level positions to fill. Your executive staff is important to the success of your business and a recruiter will help you find the right person.

I recommend: Reaction Search International has a long tradition of placing executives in the insurance industry. Kaye/Bassman Executive Recruiting & Search also matches insurance executives with the companies that need their services.

Post on industry-specific job boards instead of using insurance recruiters

Recruiting services for the insurance industry are great, but some companies cannot afford them. When you post on an industry-specific job site, you are more likely to receive applications from those only interested in insurance industry jobs. This will be much less than if you posted on a catchall job board such as Monster.

I recommend: Sign up for GreatInsuranceJobs.com in order to post an available job position. You can also post your position on UltimateInsuranceJobs.com. Both of these sites allow job seekers to upload their resumes, so you can easily browse potential candidates.
