The RoleWe're seeking an Insurance Recruiter to help us build the best wholesale teams in the country. You'll be in charge of finding and recruiting the best E&S brokers and underwriters across the country.
This isn't typical recruiting. You'll need to deeply understand the E&S wholesale market, know what makes a great producer tick, and be able to sell top talent on the promise of technology. You'll own the full recruiting lifecycle - from sourcing and outreach to closing and onboarding - while building the systems and processes that will scale our recruiting function.
The ideal candidate has recruited in insurance before. They have a network and the drive to find and attract the best talent in insurance.
The Day to Day- Own the full-cycle recruiting process for wholesale producer roles: sourcing, screening, interviewing, closing, and onboarding.
- Build and maintain a pipeline of high-quality wholesale producer candidates through direct outreach, networking, referrals, and creative sourcing strategies.
- Partner with leadership to define ideal candidate profiles, compensation structures, and hiring plans.
- Develop relationships within the E&S insurance community to build Novella's employer brand and reputation.
- Build a pipeline of underwriting talent to support our programs group.
- Create and refine recruiting processes, interview frameworks, and onboarding programs that scale.
What We're Looking For- 3+ years of recruiting experience, with meaningful time spent hiring in insurance, financial services, or a related industry.
- Deep understanding of the wholesale insurance market and what makes a successful producer and underwriter.
- Proven ability to source and close candidates in competitive markets.
- Excellent relationship-building skills. You can earn trust with senior candidates and keep them engaged throughout long hiring processes.
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple searches simultaneously.
- Someone flexible who understands every day at an early stage startup is like a decade in the corporate world. We move quickly and do whatever needs to get done no matter your title.
