The industry is in the midst of one of the tightest labor markets many have ever experienced. Job openings have peaked in the past few months, voluntary quits are high, and we’re continuing to see an industrywide realignment as both professionals and employers assess their long-term needs and desired working environments.

We’re proud of our employees at The Jacobson Group and know they are what fuels our success. This quarter we shine our Employee Spotlight on three dedicated individuals. Get to know them below.

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.

As a people-focused organization, The Jacobson Group believes every employee’s contributions matter and impact the success of our organization, clients and candidates. In honor of Employee Appreciation Day, we’re shining the spotlight on three featured employees.

As 2022 begins, it’s likely you’re reflecting on last year’s accomplishments and refining your goals for the new year. For many individuals, personal and professional aspirations are more intertwined than ever before, a result of long-term remote work, shifting priorities and continued unpredictability.

As we near the end of 2021 and continue to celebrate our 50th year providing talent to the insurance industry, we’re more thankful than ever for the dedicated individuals who are committed to helping our clients meet their talent goals. Below we highlight a few members of our team and their roles. Learn about more of our Jacobson colleagues by viewing past editions of our Employee Spotlight here.

Professionals have adjusted their employer expectations and redefined career satisfaction and success.
