Brokers need a combination of new agents and experienced managers for property and casualty insurance, commercial insurance, life insurance, health insurance, auto insurance, and workers compensation insurance.

Insurance agency is typically owned by one or more individuals who have a direct contractual relationship with one or more insurance carriers. The agency acts as an intermediary between the insurance company and the client and the terms are used interchangeably. Insurance agencies typically need a insurance recruiter because they need to leverage their lack of availability of time for a team that is actively seeking to replace retiring agents, career changes. Therefore they need sourcing candidates, reviewing resumes, conducting interviews, and negotiating offers. By outsourcing these tasks to a recruiter, insurance agencies can save time and money while the agency focuses on other priorities.

Benefits of an Insurance Agent Career

- Vesting for Retirement: In many insurance agencies they are vested within a period of 5 to 10 years. In many cases, this includes earnings that trail from the active policies as vested income based on income levels and vesting schedules.
- Residual Income: Insurance policies sold can provide a lucrative and sustainable source of income for insurance agents. For career seekers looking to start an insurance career, residual income should be a factor.
