Allstate Continues Colorado Recruiting Efforts

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For jobseekers interested in a new career in 2015, Allstate may have the right opportunity. In an effort to continue expanding and investing in Colorado, Allstate will appoint 26 new agency owners in Colorado this year.

The expansion effort is expected to create at least 78 jobs in Colorado, including support staff.  Each new agency owner is required to have at least two support staff personnel to help make sure customers are treated with efficiency and courtesy.

While people with all previous job experiences are welcome to apply, people with sales, customer-service and management experience are encouraged to consider the Exclusive Agent Opportunity. 

"With the marketplace as strong as it is, we see this as a great opportunity to invest further in Colorado," said Gary Chitwood, Allstate's West Central Region's strategic deployment leader. "Our local field sales leader and recruiters are seeking professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit, looking to own and operate their own business with the support and guidance of the Allstate brand."

"Allstate is unique among most other insurers because its agents own the economic interest in their business," continued Chitwood.  "Allstate agents have the option to sell the economic interest in their agency."

To help with recruiting, Allstate is offering up to $5,000 to people who refer a qualified candidate. The referral fee is payable upon the appointment of the candidate as an Allstate agency owner.  Join us at one of these local Be the Good Hands Sessions to learn more about the opportunity:
