Hello there! Gary Bynum here taking over the CIA LinkedIn account to talk about employee recruitment. We're on our way to achieving some aggressive growth goals this year, and we know building out our team is critical to meeting those goals. But as anyone in the insurance industry will tell you, it's not easy to find the right folks. So we concentrate on four areas; * Referral program. “It’s an accountability thing, says Jacob Boon, who directs our recruiting efforts. "If we have current employees willing to refer people, it’s a sign they are glad to be here and are willing to help us find folks they know will do a good job." * Internships. An extensive internship program identifies those new to the industry that show potential. We've been running a summer program for several years now, and are looking to expand that with a possible January program as well. * Training Programs. Full time trainers at an agency isn’t very common, but it should be, as well as programs to obtain the appropriate licensure, and an in-house sales training program. They're just a sound business investment. * Generous Benefits. Whether new to the workforce or making a mid-career shift, a generous benefits package goes a long way to fostering a motivated and committed team, and elevates you from your peers. How are your handling recruitment efforts?
Outstanding!
