from The Insurance Dudes© · host The Insurance Dudes: Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman
Hiring doesn’t have to feel like a gamble. In this Mailbag episode, we break down a simple 5-step hiring framework designed to remove guesswork, reduce unknowns, and help you consistently find the right people faster. We walk through why paid traffic creates a predictable candidate pipeline, how assessments help you see past interview “A-game,” why group interviews reveal real behavior, and how structured one-on-ones help you choose the best fit. The conversation also dives into onboarding with clarity, defining success paths, setting activity standards, and focusing on behaviors instead of just results, so new hires know exactly what winning looks like from day one. If you’ve ever hired out of desperation, struggled with turnover, or felt like your hiring process is reactive instead of intentional, this episode gives you a practical roadmap to build a repeatable hiring system that actually works.Join the elite ranks of P&C agents.
