Recruitment Panel: Key Insights

On November 19, 2021, RCIA held our Recruitment Panel, in which we invited professionals and HR specialists to discuss specific opportunities at firms related to insurance.

​The key take-away I get from this event is that the insurance industry is a hidden gem. Just kidding. But as a matter of fact, many people overlook the opportunities and the various skill sets and challenges required by the industry.

Insurance is way more than just sales people making phone calls. Compensation-wise, the insurance industry has the opportunity with high monetary compensations, vacations, and employee insurance coverage. Growth-wise, it allows people to practice communication skills, statistics skills, data analysis skills, etc. Employees are also presented with the opportunities to relocate and travel since most large insurance companies have global offices.

​Another significant takeaway from our event is that we connected with many excellent organizations and provided great resources. The representatives from our partnering firms are all very supportive. Hence, taking the opportunities to network is essential and effective in getting your foot in the insurance industry.
