About Us

The James Allen Companies Inc. was developed to provide full service professional staffing to the insurance industry. We provide permanent, temporary or temp to perm placements with the goal in mind to create win-win opportunities for insurance companies and professionals throughout the United States.

Our focus is to match the needs of the client company with the candidates who have the experience they are seeking and whose personal and professional goals can be met by becoming a part of the clients firm.

We approach the placement and search business with the understanding that we have two unique clients: One being the many diversified companies searching for quality professionals, the other being the individuals who possess the talents necessary to leverage their careers. The goal is to match the two together by understanding the challenges and needs of each party, and addressing those needs and challenges to the satisfaction of both. Our role is to take the pieces of the puzzle and put them together. Once all the pieces are assembled the picture becomes quite clear. We call this Win-Win. The Client companies enhance their staff with a quality individual and the professional enhances their life and the life of their family through the challenges of a new career opportunity.

Ultimately the goal is to bring professionalism and respect to the Search and Placement Industry. Our staff realizes the many challenges faced by all parties involved and has an understanding of the demands of the market place. Knowing, understanding and caring about the end result, creates the ideal conditions for all parties to win. What we look for in return is a mutual respect from our clients. We desire to be viewed as a partner, to create an alliance. We look for companies and individuals that truly desire and respect win-win relationships. Anything short of mutual respect by all parties throws the process out of balance. We truly believe mutual respect is more than a concept; we believe with the proper attitude and approach it can be obtained.

Is this process confidential?

This process is very confidential. We never release your resume or confidential profile without your permission. When an appropriate match has surfaced, you will be contacted to discuss the opportunity. If you are interested, we will present your expertise to our client company for consideration.

Why work with a placement professional?

There are several reasons why working with a placement professional can be advantageous. First and foremost is the tremendous time you save. Looking through newspapers, sending your resume, posting your resume on job boards, looking through many numerous positions, responding to potential employers who don't understand your needs, all of this takes a large amount of time away from the many other tasks at hand. Second, working with a professional offers greater confidentiality. Third, a professional will sell your skills to perspective employers, not just your resume. Additionally, many of the best opportunities never make it to the newspaper or job boards but are filled by professional placement agencies.
