Spencer James Group provides dedicated insurance recruiter services serving Kansas City and the heartland region. The firm’s capabilities as an insurance recruiter connect organizations with solid Midwestern talent across carriers, agencies and specialty operations throughout the bi-state metropolitan area.

Kansas City has developed a strong insurance presence, hosting major operations from UMB Insurance and Lockton Companies, the world’s largest privately held insurance brokerage. Numerous regional carriers also maintain operations in the metropolitan area. The city’s central location makes it ideal for insurers serving multi-state territories across the Midwest and Great Plains. Missouri’s business environment attracts carriers seeking operational efficiency.

The Kansas City market serves diverse needs from agricultural coverage for the surrounding farming region to commercial insurance for the area’s logistics and manufacturing sectors. The region’s concentration of healthcare systems and nonprofit organizations creates employee benefits opportunities. Kansas City’s affordability attracts relocating professionals and remote operations from coastal carriers seeking cost advantages.

Through executive search and targeted headhunter services, Spencer James Group connects insurance companies with professionals throughout the bi-state metro area. As a committed headhunter, the firm understands Kansas City’s relationship-driven business culture. Insurance compensation offers exceptional value, with senior positions commanding $90,000 to $130,000 in a highly affordable market. The city particularly values professionals seeking stability, work-life balance and opportunities to make meaningful contributions in a right-sized market.
