Insurance Job Descriptions

In the insurance industry, agents are tasked with developing new business and building a base of clients.  With agents, it’s very much a sales-focused role so candidates comfortable with that type of job should be targeted.  In most environments, they meet with clients, identify their needs and offer different insurance options and coverages.  Insurance professionals should be comfortable sharing various insurance options with prospective clients as they build long lasting relationships.

You want to target determined individuals with strong interpersonal, presentation, quantitative and sales skills.  Depending on the types of insurance products being offered, you may need people with particular experience in business regulations, taxes or estate planning for example.  Craft a job description with whatever particular requirements are needed to succeed as well as the unique characteristics of your firm.
