When bringing someone, anyone, into your agency it’s really important that you know how to interview potential hires for your insurance agency.  

Start with a 15-30 minutes phone interview. Are they good on the phone? If Zoom is something your agency uses a lot, do that. 

 

Then, have an in person interview. Make sure they are who they say they are. Try to establish what kind of team member they might be. Will they fit into your culture?

 

Finally, have the final interview. Be sure they are a sure thing. Get into the technical side of the position. A bad hire and the cost of one should motivate you to have this meeting no matter what. 

 

On top of all of that, if you are bringing on producers or new leadership, you need to have a dinner meeting. Get to know their personality because that is extremely important in these positions. Is this someone you can trust with a chunk of your agency?
