Connecting employee benefits organizations with proven sales professionals and leadership talent is what we do as a specialized insurance recruiter serving the Seattle market. Our firm functions as a headhunter and executive search partner for brokerages, carriers and general agencies seeking to grow their teams in one of the nation’s most concentrated tech economies.

Seattle ranks as the third-largest tech hub in the United States with technology accounting for approximately 30% of the regional economy. The Puget Sound area hosts nearly 185,000 tech talent specialists and maintains the third-largest cluster of AI-specialty professionals in the country. This concentration of technology and life sciences employers drives sustained demand for group health and ancillary/voluntary benefits distribution. Healthcare remains the strongest hiring sector in the Seattle metro area with all seven sectors above pre-pandemic job posting levels being in healthcare-related fields as of late 2025.

The employee benefits brokerage market continues to expand as employers invest in competitive benefits packages to attract and retain talent. Group health plan costs are projected to increase between 6.5% and 8% in 2026 according to preliminary filings. Demand persists for benefits professionals who can help employers navigate plan design and carrier negotiations for medical, dental, vision and life insurance products.

We recruit sales producers and account executives who build new business through consultative selling. We also place service professionals including account managers and benefits administrators who maintain client relationships. Leadership searches extend to regional sales managers and practice leaders who can develop high-performing teams. Seattle’s position as a hub for innovation and its dense corporate landscape create ongoing opportunities for employee benefits professionals at every career level.

You're in Good Company
