Spencer James Group delivers specialized insurance recruiter services serving Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast region. The firm’s role as a leading insurance recruiter positions clients to secure top talent within the energy, marine and commercial insurance sectors that define this dynamic market.

Houston’s insurance market is intrinsically linked to the energy sector, with major operations from companies such as AIG, Chubb and Lloyd’s syndicates focused on oil and gas risks. The city employs thousands of insurance professionals specializing in energy, marine, construction and commercial property coverage. Houston International Insurance Group and numerous specialty underwriting managers maintain their headquarters in this city.

Texas ranks among the largest insurance markets in the nation, with Houston serving as the state’s commercial insurance hub. The absence of state income tax attracts talent from across the country, while the growing population drives demand across all insurance lines. Major brokerages including Lockton, Marsh McLennan and Wortham maintain significant Houston operations to serve the region’s diverse client base.

Through targeted executive search and headhunter services, Spencer James Group helps carriers and brokerages secure experienced underwriters, claims executives and C-suite leaders. Houston offers competitive compensation with lower cost of living than coastal markets, making it attractive for relocating professionals. Senior insurance roles typically command salaries of $110,000 to $150,000, with energy sector specialists earning premium compensation for their specialized expertise.
