At The Jacobson Group, we believe that our employees are the driving force behind our success. This quarter, we are thrilled to highlight three exceptional team members who embody our values and contribute to our mission. Read on to learn more about them.

Despite ongoing uncertainty throughout the U.S. economy, insurance remains in a candidate’s market as 2023 unfolds. The industry hit record-high employment in January, job openings continue to be elevated after reaching a peak in 2022 and insurance unemployment is just 1.4%. According to our recent Q1 2023 Insurance Labor Market Study, conducted in partnership with Aon plc, 90% of insurers plan to increase or maintain their staff sizes this year. Most companies also have a positive outlook regarding revenue expectations, making hiring necessary for successfully meeting their growth goals. 

As Women's History Month kicks off, we want to take a moment to celebrate the women in our own organization. The Jacobson Group is 81% women, and women make up 76% of our leadership team! Below we highlight just a few of these amazing individuals, their roles and what they love about working at Jacobson.

Insurance unemployment remains low, job openings are at an all-time high, and organizations have record-breaking hiring goals. Even if you’re not actively job searching, it’s likely recruiters are reaching out to share potential opportunities with increasing frequency. While we’re currently in a candidate’s market, how you handle these interactions – regardless of your intent to make a move – is a direct reflection of your personal brand.

Job openings reached an all-time high in January, retirements are accelerating, and new roles are continuing to emerge within the industry. "A candidate’s market” has never more accurately described the insurance industry’s recruiting climate. According to our recent Q1 2022 Insurance Labor Market Study, conducted in partnership with Aon plc, 72% of insurers are planning to increase staff this year — a record high percentage and a 16-point increase from July 2021's study. If you’re looking to make a career move within the industry, now is an opportune time to start exploring your options, refresh your resume and ensure you’re prepared if your dream job presents itself.
