Insurance Recruiters

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 go the whole nine yards in finding the best candidate for a position. We aim to locate the most qualified candidates whose skills and expertise match our client’s business needs. Essentially, we tailor our services to every client to assist them in expanding their businesses through smart hiring decisions.

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 formulate innovative staffing solutions designed to assist our clients in attracting and retaining the best talent.

A crucial aspect of our approach is our steadfast commitment to inclusion and diversity during the entire recruitment process. We acknowledge the benefits that varied perspectives can bring to a company, particularly in a field as expansive as insurance. As such, we don’t consider factors such as the color of an applicant’s skin, their age, or gender in the candidate selection process. Instead, we examine their professional merits and whether they possess the right mindset and leadership qualities for the role.

The finalists are all subject to our rigorous screening process, during which we validate the skills and references on every individual’s resume. We also ask each person to complete a competency assessment and a personality test. This culminates in a shortlist of pre-qualified candidates who are ready to hit the ground running at our client’s firm. Our client’s hiring manager may also conduct their own set of interviews and assessments before choosing the most suitable talent to join their team.

When a candidate has been chosen, we stay on hand to help with negotiations, craft an attractive compensation package, and onboarding to ensure the new hire integrates successfully into the role.

Behind Our Recruitment Process

Keller’s approach wasn’t always as holistic as it is today. 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, consultative approach with a niche focus on executive search, our firm has delivered more successful placements than our previous method would have allowed. This has 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.

Examples of Roles We Recruit For in the Insurance Industry

At Keller Executive Search, our insurance recruiters draw on decades of first-hand experience screening and hiring carriers, brokers, and MGAs to secure the highly skilled insurance professionals our clients need – without limiting our search to a narrow list of predetermined job titles. Because we have worked shoulder-to-shoulder with actuarial teams, risk management leaders, and C-suite panels, we deeply understand how each function intersects with underwriting profit, compliance, and customer experience. This insight enables us to help clients identify and attract talented insurance executives and professionals with the skills to thrive in critical roles.

Our consultants leverage our ongoing partnership with NPAworldwide and an extensive network that stretches far beyond traditional job boards, allowing us to even connect with passive candidates. This reach lets us introduce clients to transformational leaders and high-impact professionals, such as a growth-oriented Chief Executive ready to craft a digital P&C platform, an analytics expert able to sharpen pricing, or a dynamic sales manager to accelerate broker distribution. We also fill key roles in technology, finance, compliance, and operations –positions that rarely appear on public vacancy lists but are essential in ensuring and safeguarding the growth, reputation, and success of a business.

Backed by a proven track record of timely placements, Keller’s client-centric approach couples deep industry knowledge with data-driven recruiting expertise to protect your valuable time and deliver an exceptional service experience. We map each engagement against current market dynamics and updated regulations then calibrate our search methodology to mirror your company culture and the long-term aspirations of both stakeholders and candidates. By aligning these factors, we ensure every hire accelerates growth while reducing turnover risk. This, in turn, fosters genuine connections and empowers professionals to fulfill their candidate aspirations.
