Woodmere, OH, March 21, 2018 – Marsh, Berry & Company, Inc.’s (“MarshBerry”) Talent Acquisition division recently crossed the 400 producers placed in the insurance industry threshold.
At MarshBerry, we feel there is a disconnect between the caliber of producers that agencies are finding independently and their candidate expectations. Use of a third-party firm to source and filter candidates on behalf of agencies can help narrow the gap considerably in our opinion. Closing this gap can alleviate time dedicated to recruiting and can yield higher results from professionally sourcing quality candidates.
We promote hiring outside the industry and placing candidates based on past experience, initiative and cultural fit. We believe that hiring outside the insurance industry increases the size of the potential producer pool. We ensure the candidates have experience in an advanced sales setting to bring transferrable skills over to the producer role. Equally important, we ensure the candidate has initiative to autonomously sell and fit the agency’s sales culture.
Through this process the MarshBerry Talent Acquisition division has placed over 400 producers for our clients, since the divisions formation in 2007. Since 2014, according to MarshBerry’s proprietary financial management system, Perspectives for High Performance, 75% of the producers hired, as sourced by MarshBerry, have stayed with their agency for at least three years. We believe this indicates that our approach for sourcing and hiring candidates, leads to results and growth.
Brooke Lugonjic, Talent Acquisition Unit Manager, adds that “MarshBerry’s Talent Acquisition division has increased collaboration within the organization to better understand our clients’ holistic, organic growth strategy. Understanding what types of sales talent best fits that strategy has helped lay the foundation for more productive and successful producer searches.”
In addition to this achievement, MarshBerry has added three new full time staff members to continue to provide the increased need for recruiting solutions for clients.
