🎙️ Ridiculously Amazing Insurance Agent Podcast
Episode: Insurance Agency Hiring Best Practices — How to Spot Great Candidates 💼✨

Are you ready to stop settling for "okay" hires and start building a powerhouse insurance team? In this episode, we dive into the interview strategies and hiring best practices that help agency leaders identify candidates who bring grit, accountability, and a growth mindset to the table. 💪

At Agency Performance Partners, we believe that skills can be taught — but character, culture fit, and drive can't. 🚀

👇 Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

💬 Top interview questions that separate good candidates from great ones

🔍 How to evaluate proactiveness, accountability, and adaptability

🧠 Ways to assess how candidates handle failure and change

📋 Why you should use a consistent hiring scorecard

👥 The value of team involvement in the hiring process

🧩 How to ensure strong cultural alignment and long-term fit

🏁 Smart post-interview steps: reference checks, "test drives," and onboarding for success

💡 Sample Interview Questions Discussed:

"Tell me about a time you initiated a change because you saw something was broken."

"Describe a time you bent a process to serve a client—how did you handle the fallout?"

"If you started tomorrow, what would your 90-day plan to add value look like?"

"Tell me about a time you failed to meet a goal. What did you learn?"

"How do you manage and lead others through change?"

These questions and strategies will help your agency go beyond basic hiring—and start building a culture of accountability, innovation, and growth. 🌟
