Allstate insurance agency owners in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada,
Oklahoma and Utah aim to hire more than 80 employees through the
online social media tool, Twitter. Candidates can learn about
licensed sales professional positions by messaging recruiters at
the Twitter handle @werecruitagents. Interested candidates can
avoid the hassle of loading their resumes to career websites by
emailing their resume to a recruitment team member to
LSPrecruit@allstate.com or call 877-711-1006 to speak with a
recruiter.
After a simple qualification check, this easy process puts the
candidate in a searchable internal database for agency owners to
contact them directly. Agency owners are looking for candidates
that have exceptional selling and customer service skills, a
minimum of a high school diploma and the ability to obtain or begin
the Property and Casualty licensure process at the time of hiring.
While no prior experience is necessary, knowledge and understanding
of insurance and sales etiquette is a plus.
"Sales positions with Allstate agency owners present such a
great opportunity for talented, motivated people with strong
communication and customer service skills to work with a
world-class brand and an experienced sales staff," said Jim Durham,
an Allstate new agency sales leader. "As agency employees,
candidates will become licensed sale professionals and get the
help, support and training they need to help them succeed in this
industry."
The more than 80 available positions are located throughout the
following greater metropolitan areas:
- Albuquerque and Santa Fe, N.M.
- Las Vegas, Reno and Henderson, Nev.
- Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla.
- Phoenix metropolitan and Tucson, Ariz.
- Salt Lake City and Orem/Provo, Utah
A typical insurance agent employs one or more staff members,
based on the size of their agency, to hold state licenses allowing
them to sell insurance products to consumers. They work side by
side with agency owners, educating and assisting customers with
their insurance needs. That's why Allstate is helping its more than
750 agencies in the Southwest to continue to build their business
by hiring superior staff.
Candidates are interviewed and hired by Allstate exclusive
agents who are independent contractors for all purposes. Although
licensed sales professionals represent Allstate, they are employees
of the exclusive agent and not employed by Allstate Insurance
Company.
