As a recruiter, I often see candidates faced with the decision of whether to accept a counter offer from their current employer. 🤔 While it may be tempting to stay for a higher salary or better benefits, it's important to consider the long-term implications of staying. Accepting a counter offer can damage your professional reputation and relationships with both your current and potential future employers; we all know the Insurance sector is very incestuous! 🤝 It may also indicate that you were willing to leave for better opportunities, which can lead to a lack of trust and loyalty with your current employer in the future. Ultimately, it's crucial to carefully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision that could impact your career trajectory. 💹🚫💼🔍 In the competitive job market, it's essential to prioritize your long-term career goals and growth over short-term financial gains. By accepting a counter offer, you may miss out on the opportunity to work in a new environment, learn new skills, and advance your insurance career. It's important to consider the reasons why you were looking for a new job in the first place and whether those underlying issues will be resolved by accepting a counter offer. Remember, your career is a journey, and it's important to make decisions that align with your professional aspirations as it's a journey we only follow once. 🗺🌟📈💡 #CareerGrowth #NewJob #CounterOffer #TakeTheJob #ProfessionalDevelopment #InsuranceRecruiter #SpecialistRecruiter #InsuranceJob #JobMarket #InsuranceCareer

It's a question that many professionals face at some point in their career - to stay loyal to one company or to move jobs to explore different opportunities? 🤔 There is no definitive answer to this question as it really depends on your personal and professional goals. When considering whether to remain loyal or move on, think about the opportunities that are available to you, the work environment that you prefer and the potential for career growth. 💡 If your key goal is to maximise your earnings, those that regularly move employers, generally have a higher salary than those that remain loyal to one employer. Ultimately, it's important to make a decision that is right for you. 🧐 #CareerAdvice #JobOpportunities #Loyalty

As a recruiter dedicated to the insurance industry, I have observed an ongoing struggle among clients to fill underwriting roles at all levels of seniority. This persistent challenge has led me to reflect on the underlying factors contributing to this talent gap. After consideration, I believe the issue is multifaceted. Some of the key drivers could be: Focus on Job Security and Risk Reduction: In today's uncertain economic climate, many professionals are prioritising job stability and minimising risk. Rising Cost of Living: As the cost of living continues to climb previously attractive wages begin to wane in there ability to draw talent. Lack of Junior Talent: There is a noticeable shortage of young professionals entering the underwriting field. I would love to hear your thoughts on potential solutions that as an industry we can implement to address these challenges? #underwriting #Insurance #marketchallenges #talent

Looking to make a job change? Not sure how to handle a potential counter offer? 🤔 Don't panic! 🤗 Here are some tips to help you navigate the situation: 1. Gather information. 🤓 Make sure you have all the facts about the new role and the counter offer. Take your time to weigh up the pros and cons and consider any long-term implications. 2. Be firm and polite. 🤝 Be sure to express your appreciation for the counter offer. However, if you've already accepted the new role and you're confident it's the right move, don't be afraid to stand your ground. 3. Consider the whole package. 🤗 Think beyond salary and consider other benefits such as job satisfaction, career development, and work/life balance. 4. Remember the reasons why you wanted to make the move and the principles behind this. They haven't changed just because your employer has realised it's going to be tough on them to replace you. 😀 Making a job change can be daunting, but Barker Munro Recruitment can help you through every step and with the right approach, you can make an informed decision that's right for you and your future. 💪 #CounterOffer #CareerChange #agency #commercialinsurance #GI #newjob #JobChange #barkermunrorecruitment #insurancejobs

Knowing your worth in a skills shortage insurance market, or any competitive job market, is crucial for negotiating a fair salary and advancing your career. Here are some key steps to help you determine your worth in such a market: 🙂 Assess Your Skills and Experience: Take stock of your skills, qualifications, and experience. What unique expertise do you bring to the table? Consider your education, certifications, and any specialised training that sets you apart from others in your field. Document your accomplishments, projects, and achievements throughout your career. 🤔 Market Research: Research the current job market for your industry and specific skill set. Are there shortages in certain skills or roles? Look at job listings, industry reports, and salary surveys to gather information on salary ranges and demand for your skills. Network with professionals in your field to gain insights into market trends and industry needs. 😉 Evaluate Your Contributions: Reflect on your past performance in your current or previous roles. How have you positively impacted your employers or clients? Quantify your contributions whenever possible. For example, mention how you increased revenue, reduced costs, or improved processes. 🙂 Consider Location and Industry: Recognise that the demand for specific skills and their market value can vary by location and industry. A skill in high demand in one area may not be as valuable elsewhere. 🔈 Seek Advice: Speak with mentors, colleagues, or industry peers who can provide insights into your market value. Consider speaking with a recruiter who specialises in your field for additional guidance. 😊 Be Confident: Believe in your worth and the value you bring to employers or clients. Confidence can positively impact your negotiations. Don't undervalue yourself due to imposter syndrome or fear of rejection. 💡 Customise Your Approach: Tailor your job applications, resume, and interviews to highlight the skills and experience that are most in demand in the insurance market. Emphasise how your unique qualifications can address the challenges and needs of potential employers. ⬆ Invest in Skill Development: Keep enhancing your skills and staying up-to-date with industry trends. This will increase your market value over time. Remember that your worth in a skills shortage insurance market can fluctuate, so it's important to regularly reassess and adjust your approach as needed to remain competitive and fairly compensated in your field.
