The Agency, as noted above, is totally computerized with "state of the art" hardware and software, which enables us to maintain total confidential control of all our clients and applicants. We have numerous built-in, cross-referencing capabilities and have a long established "web-site" on the Internet at www.cwinchellagency.com. Each week you can find an average of close to 1,000 jobs on our website, along with 100 of our top jobs listed on CareerBuilder.com as well as accounts with Monster and
GreatInsuranceJobs.comSince opening the Agency, we have placed individuals in P&C positions at more than 400 client companies, including many of the largest national P&C insurers and their subsidiaries, a large number of domestic and international reinsurers as well as the top national brokers, large-mid sized regional brokers as well as many "main street" agencies in the tri-state area. Our client base also includes the most well-known claim service/TPA's and large self insured corporations for in-house claims and risk management personnel.
You will note that the majority of the experience of our employees is insurance-related, and our agency does not become involved in any other field. Within the insurance industry, we handle Underwriters, Claim Professionals, Accountants, Agency Account Representatives, Programmers & System Analysts, Reinsurance and all other areas of Operations, Product Development, Marketing & Support.
We would like to point out that we are not "head hunters". We do not "raid" client companies. Rather, we rely on advertising, referrals, the Internet through various search engines, along with current applicants to locate appropriate candidates for our client companies. All such candidates are interviewed extensively and we do not refer candidates unless we believe they truly "fit" the position in question. We will also do reference checks whenever requested by a client to do so. We do not, however, do credit or criminal checks.
I hope this letter gives you a general feel for our company, but should you wish to ask any questions, or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for considering us for your future personnel recruiting needs and we look forward to a mutually productive and advantageous relationship.
