Founding Recruiting Lead - Insurance Agencies

$80k - $120k

trainwell

Build & Lead a Recruiting Division Serving Insurance Agency Clients

Trainwell is a national training company serving high‑performing insurance agencies.

We help agency owners grow revenue through sales systems, accountability, and performance training.

Now, our clients are asking for something more: Help hiring.

We are launching a recruiting division exclusively for insurance agencies — and we’re looking for the person who will build it.

This is not an internal HR role.

You will not be recruiting for Trainwell.

You will recruit on behalf of insurance agency clients across the country.

Agencies are already waiting for this service.

This is an opportunity to build and eventually lead a recruiting division inside an established brand.

What You’ll Do (Phase 1 - Builder)

You will:

  • Run full‑cycle recruiting for insurance agency clients (sales producers, service team members, office managers, etc.)
  • Source, screen, and qualify candidates
  • Present top candidates to agency owners
  • Help coordinate and administer structured group interviews
  • Set clear hiring expectations with agency clients
  • Track recruiting KPIs and placement metrics
  • Build recruiting systems, documentation, and repeatable workflows
  • Improve job ads and positioning for agency roles

This is client‑facing recruiting.

You will operate as the recruiting partner to insurance agency owners.

What This Role Becomes

As the recruiting division grows, you will:

  • Hire and manage additional recruiters
  • Oversee placement quality and performance tracking
  • Build internal systems and reporting dashboards
  • Standardize hiring frameworks for agency clients
  • Potentially participate in profit share
  • Potentially receive equity if the recruiting division becomes a standalone entity

You are not stepping into a finished system.

You are helping build it.

Who This Is For

You are:

  • An experienced recruiter (agency or high‑volume preferred)
  • Comfortable recruiting for external clients
  • Organized and process‑driven
  • Steady and consistent in execution
  • Comfortable operating autonomously
  • Confident holding clients accountable to expectations
  • Interested in building something long‑term

You understand that recruiting is both relationship‑driven and metrics‑driven.

Who This Is Not For

  • Corporate HR professionals looking for internal hiring roles
  • Recruiters who require heavy oversight
  • Candidates who want a high fixed salary without performance upside
  • Individuals uncomfortable building processes from scratch

Compensation

  • Base salary: $80,000 - $120,000 (depending on experience)
  • Commission per successful placement
  • Performance bonuses
  • Profit share as the division scales
  • Potential equity in a future standalone recruiting entity

Compensation is structured for growth and aligned with division performance.

Location

Remote (U.S.-based preferred)

To Apply

Submit:

  • Resume
  • Short written outline of how you would approach building this recruiting division in your first 90 days
  • Example of a difficult role you successfully filled and how you sourced the candidate

Requirements

  • 3+ years of full‑cycle recruiting experience (agency or client‑facing recruiting strongly preferred)
  • Proven track record of successful placements
  • Experience recruiting for sales or performance‑based roles preferred
  • Strong sourcing ability beyond job boards (LinkedIn, direct outreach, networking, etc.)
  • Comfortable working directly with business owners or clients
  • Highly organized with ability to manage multiple open roles simultaneously
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to operate independently without heavy oversight
  • Metrics‑driven mindset (understands recruiting KPIs and funnel conversion)

Benefits

  • Health Insurance
  • 401k with match
  • Roth 401k
  • PTO
  • Life Insurance
  • Disability Insurance
