As insurance industry retirements accelerate, experts say companies are deploying old and new tactics to address the projected talent gap, although past failures have prompted some to rethink talent acquisition strategies.
Established programs, such as paid internships and job fair participation, have helped draw interest in insurance careers over the years, but employers recognize the need to widen the scope.
Newer initiatives, such as apprenticeships that guarantee employment upon completion and building on diversity programs, are showing some promise.
In addition, some employers use social media for recruitment, both through established channels and newer platforms. Results, though, are mixed, experts say.
