The Direct Approach to Insurance Recruitment
Direct Insurance Jobs launches today bringing a new and unique recruitment solution for the UK insurance community.
Offering only roles advertised by Insurers and Brokers, Direct Insurance Jobs provides a clear, direct and transparent route for jobseekers to potential employers.
Taking consultants and agencies out of the recruitment chain allows the UK's strong insurance market to attract candidates directly; speeding up an application and allowing candidates complete visibility and choice over potential employers. Employers too can use their increasingly well known brands to attract talent.
Direct Insurance Jobs founding director Duncan Goodfellow comments "Our experience and research has shown that the UK insurance recruitment process is heavily wedded to the traditional routes of the agencies, and many major employers question the value that these organisations bring, versus their often substantial cost. In launching Direct Insurance Jobs, we are offering a real alternative to the agency model that other insurance jobs boards do not bring."
Founded by insurance professionals, Direct Insurance Jobs is launching with the support of several major UK insurance brands including Aon, Axa, RSA, Zurich and XChanging.
Future development plans include promotion of the industry to attract new young talent and a graduate programme vacancy listing service.
Registered jobseekers get the benefit of free career guidance papers and podcasts from Go MAD Thinking, a leading transformational thinking organisation in the UK.
"We believe that Direct Insurance Jobs will provide both employers and jobseekers in the
UK market a new and direct route to achieve their recruitment goals" comments Goodfellow.
The site is free for jobseekers to use and operates an annual subscription charge for employers to advertise unlimited numbers of vacancies. The site also offers an optional initial screening service to employers.
