Identifying Top-Tier Insurance Professionals to Propel Your Company Forward
Leading Insurance Recruiters
Keller’s expert insurance recruiters utilize their industry knowledge and expansive network of contacts to find top candidates for vacant positions within the insurance industry. We focus on sourcing talent for a variety of roles, from underwriters, claims adjusters, and actuarial analysts to insurance brokers, risk managers, and many more. We also take your company’s unique culture and specific goals into consideration to determine the most fitting candidates for a role.
Insurance recruiting has become a challenging undertaking in the current market conditions. A worldwide shortage of seasoned leaders has put the insurance industry at risk at a crucial time.
As the middle classes expand and property prices increase across emerging markets, there are chances for growth. However, geopolitical uncertainties pose a risk to the possibility of new investments. For traditional markets in North America and Europe, disruptive technologies, aging demographics, and increasing regulation are jeopardizing profitability.
Keller can help insurance companies navigate these obstacles and attract top-tier executives with the skill sets and expertise to boost their business growth.
What We Do
Our passionate team of insurance recruiters at Keller Executive Search works closely with clients to identify their recruiting requirements and business goals. We are dedicated to locating talented individuals who align not only with a client’s hiring needs but also their corporate culture.
This means we do more than basic candidate searches, aiming to support the well-being and vitality of our clients’ firms.
We achieve this through a rigorous recruiting process, which involves:
Assessment
We commence the recruiting process by identifying the staffing needs of our client. We also work to comprehend the nuances of the organization’s culture and requirements for new employees. Armed with this knowledge, we begin the search for the perfect candidate.
We also employ specialized tools throughout the recruitment process to assist in our hunt for the ideal candidate. These include applicant tracking systems (ATS), candidate analytics, detailed reference and background checks, plus advanced psychometric testing.
Talent Acquisition
At Keller, we do more than just post job ads on platforms like LinkedIn. We make inquiries across different social media sites, utilize our vast network of contacts—including our NPAworldwide membership—and profound understanding of the industry to identify the most qualified candidates for roles at all levels of expertise, from Insurance Agents to Chief Insurance Officers.
Furthermore, we take a proactive approach to recruitment. This means we reach out to executives and leaders who are already employed but may be open to opportunities that align with their career goals.
Once we have identified a suitable talent pool, we screen candidates thoroughly to validate their expertise. We go deeper than a basic resume review, assessing candidates’ personalities, leadership styles, motivational drivers, and cultural alignment. Following our evaluations, we present the shortlisted candidates to the client, who has the final say on who they want to join their team.
Organization Transformation
Keller has garnered worldwide renown for our innovative talent solutions and high-quality standards. We go beyond merely recruiting the most talented insurance professionals—we support businesses in attracting and retaining the best people in this highly competitive industry by transforming their hiring practices.
Our recruiters have a deep knowledge of the field, having collaborated with insurance firms for many years. Consequently, we are ideally positioned to provide clients with advice on how to improve employee retention, how to interview and evaluate candidates the right way, and generally help them maintain an edge over competitors.
Our Approach to Insurance Recruitment
We only consider our recruitment services successful when a client reaps the rewards of an ideal placement. As such, we spare no effort in finding the best candidate for a role. We aim to pinpoint the most qualified candidates whose skills and expertise match our client’s business needs. Essentially, we tailor our services to each client, with a focus on aiding their business expansion.
We begin the recruitment process with a detailed examination of our client’s business needs and the challenges they face to identify potential areas that could benefit from the right candidate placement. With this knowledge in hand, we suggest innovative staffing solutions aimed at helping our clients attract and retain the best talent.
A crucial aspect of our approach is our unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity throughout the recruitment process. We acknowledge the benefits that varied perspectives can bring to a company, particularly in a field as expansive as insurance.
However, Keller’s approach wasn’t always this holistic. It was only developed after our firm encountered setbacks using a standardized recruitment strategy. We realized this cookie-cutter method was insufficient for navigating the complex challenges businesses encounter in the insurance industry and that it could lead to placement issues in the future.
Since investing in a more customer-oriented approach, our firm has delivered more successful placements than our previous method would have allowed. This enabled us to grow our reputation for exceptional standards and reliability. We are now a nationally acclaimed executive search firm in the US with global reach.
