Farmers Ins District 40 - Michael VanDerMeulen
“IdealTraits has been a critical part of our success with recruiting new agents and staff members. Since starting with IdealTraits, we have been able to recruit over 250 Protégés and staff, and that has also led to over 80 new agency owners, in just over 4 years. We have been the top recruiting District in the company, and we wouldn’t have been able to do that without the IdealTraits platform. We now have over 20 agency owners who are also using IdealTraits. As a District team, being able to help them manage their job posts and candidates allows us to handle a large piece of their recruiting process, and gives them more time to do what they do best – sell!”
Baucham Insurance Agency
“A recruitment strategy is critical to maximize agency growth. In order to hire the most talented people for your office you first have to find them. That’s where IdealTraits comes in.”
Larson Insurance Group
“IdealTraits takes the guessing out of hiring. Its simple, easy-to-use process allowed me to quickly filter down to those candidates that best suited my current need. This cut my search time down 80% and allowed me to focus on quality candidates for specific positions.“
Bowker Insurance Group
“IdealTraits allows me to find, screen and test before interviewing. I’m able to narrow my interview time down to only those that will really fit the bill for what we need. IdealTraits has saved us time and money by giving us a tool that is professional, customizable, and accurate every time. I will not hire anyone going forward without IdealTraits.”
Olson Insurance Agency
“We have a team of 40, so a pretty big team, and we were just going through the numbers and we literally have only had to let one person go in the last two years and that’s out of 40 people. That just shows you this assessment truly gets it right. We do not hire people if they don’t assess as the personalities that we want on our team and it is a very very good predictor.”
