Insurance Sector Steps Up Recruitment Efforts

From corporate headquarters to college campuses, the insurance industry is reaching out and collaborating to attract talent.

Meanwhile, those involved in talent acquisition are contending with a remote working environment that has created new challenges to recruiting.

The Insurance Information Institute’s collaboration with HBCU Impact, a group dedicated to informing the Historically Black College and University community about the benefits of a career in insurance, is the product of a year’s planning, said Sean Kevelighan, CEO of the I.I.I. in New York.

The I.I.I. has produced a series of seven video profiles of leading insurance industry executives and regulators to be used by HBCU Impact in its classroom outreach activities, Mr. Kevelighan said, adding he expects to expand the collaboration between the two groups.
