Job description

Job Overview

Build a Career. Build a Team. Build Your Income.

Are you a people person, natural networker, and driven professional who loves connecting with others and making things happen?

Our Farmers Insurance District Team is looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to help identify, attract, and develop talented individuals interested in building a career in insurance.

Here's the best part: You do NOT need a recruiting background to succeed in this role.

If you have experience in sales, business development, customer service, hospitality, management, marketing, or another people-focused environment, we want to talk to you.

Sales experience is a BIG plus because this role involves presenting opportunities, building relationships, overcoming objections, and confidently moving candidates through the hiring process.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

This isn't a traditional recruiting desk where you're simply filling open positions.

You'll learn how to source, recruit, interview, influence, sell, coach, and develop people — skills that can open doors to significant career growth.

We're looking for someone who wants to build something, not someone who simply wants another job.

If you're competitive, driven, great with people, and excited by the idea of building a career with uncapped potential for growth, we'd love to meet you.

Salary Range: $60,000.00 - $90,000.00 per year
