Allstate to Increase Montana Recruiting Efforts

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate today announced it will appoint several new agency owners in Montana this year and will offer payments to people referring qualified candidates. For jobseekers looking for a new career in 2015, a role as an Allstate Agent offers the rare opportunity to own their own business while being aligned with a nationally recognized brand.

The expansion effort is expected to create nearly 10 jobs across Montana including support staff.  Each agent is required to have two support staff to help make sure customers are treated with efficiency and courtesy.

Allstate is looking for people with sales, customer-service and management experience to operate agencies across the state, but anyone is welcome to apply.

"With the marketplace as strong as it is, we see this as a great opportunity to invest further in Montana," 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 not only has a spectacular brand and exceptional support staff to train and champion new exclusive agents, 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 award is payable upon the appointment of the candidate as an Allstate agency owner.  To find out more about the opportunity or to refer a candidate, people should visit www.BeTheGoodHands.com or email our recruiter [email protected]
