A different hiring approach for the insurance industry
It’s getting harder to fill open positions in insurance. And there will be a lot more soon: 400,000 open positions by 2036 due to retirement alone. Meanwhile, turnover in the insurance industry is on the rise, making it more critical than ever to be smart in your hiring.
