The IICF Talent Hub will also help insurance companies attract new talent and build a more diverse pipeline of job applicants. Participating insurance companies will be able to post jobs and recruitment videos, as well as information about their company's culture, ESG efforts, philanthropic initiatives, and more.
“Not many people may initially think of the insurance industry when they start their job search, and for many people in underserved communities, a new job opportunity holds the promise to improve not only their own lives but those of their families and communities at large,” said Betsy Myatt, Vice President and Chief Program Officer for IICF. “Our hope for the IICF Talent Hub is that it will bring awareness of quality job opportunities to an audience that may not know us and help build a diverse pipeline of new talent that could help change the face of the industry.”
The IICF Talent Hub is one of the first initiatives to emerge from the IICF IDEA Council, which is comprised of DEI, human resource, and talent leaders from over 40 organizations across the insurance industry. The council's goal is to bring together top executives and thought leaders to share insights and best practices, as well as to develop new solutions and resources, such as the IICF Talent Hub, to put our collective ideas into action and help to create a fully inclusive future for the insurance industry.
“The IICF IDEA Council and the initiatives that we are already seeing take shape demonstrate what an industry like ours can do when we work together,” said Kim Briones, Head of Global Human Resources, Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, and IICF IDEA Council member. “The Council encourages insurance leaders to put aside competition and work collaboratively to strengthen the industry through talent and DEI initiatives like the IICF Talent Hub. At the end of the day, welcoming new talent that is reflective of the communities we serve is good for the industry, and good for every company.”
Furthermore, the IICF Talent Hub will host resources for insurance companies, such as an upcoming webinar focusing on the value of apprenticeship programs in the industry, as well as showcase the opportunities and results that these innovative programs have delivered for both insurance companies and job seekers, as well as the broader community.
Any insurance job posted on Indeed will be displayed on the IICF Talent Hub job board. The IICF Talent Hub will facilitate hiring and accepting through this integrated insurance-only job board as a direct bridge from the insurance industry to new and more diverse talent pools. IICF will strengthen its relationships with nonprofit partners who serve talented young people in underserved communities, inviting job seekers to learn more about the promising opportunities available through jobs and careers in the insurance industry.
