I miss the days of simple job candidate searches

I don’t know of anyone in the NOLA area that is struggling to find work. Most of my sons’ friends in the 25-30 year old range have good jobs and seem to be happy.
We’re looking for 1-2 people who want to work hard and build a career in insurance, but at least through word of mouth, it’s hard to find talent. We’ve hired a bunch of successful people that way over my career. Not sure what’s changing.
My company is willing to help with recruiting, but I don’t want to open the flood gates and have to sift through tons of resumes.

There’s been an exodus of working people from nola for years now.

you want some smuck cold calling for you so you can take half their profits.
Insurance is a scam these days.

Do you mean that you don't want people lying to get through the non-negotiable screening questions, only to still have to sift through 25 resumes of people who work at shoe carnival trying to interview for a professional and credentialed position?

I'm not on the sales side.
Our business is commercial and it's required by law.
On the personal side - Overall, it sucks paying premiums, but then it's there when you need it. Thankfully we had full coverage when Ida damaged 1/3 of my house. Thankfully we had it when my wife's car got totaled through no fault of her own and we're having to fight the responsible party in court.

I keep hearing on the radio that ZipRecruiter finds you that needle in the haystack.

That's unusual.
Whenever my resume is searchable I constantly get junk messages from companies wanting me to sell insurance.

That helps. No one wants to go through the interview process to find out it is for $35k

Or get stuck making cold calls and getting paid straight commission.

And here is why I know you suck. Laws are written to prevent fraud or to create fraud. Just depends on who the legislation is taking money from.
The FDA was created so that Heinz could make ketchup without competition. Literally paid off politicians to create a new government department because their patent didn't cover basic ketchups did need 57 ingrediants

There aren’t any decent entry level jobs in New Orleans so every college graduate leaves to Texas or Atlanta. Some come back when they’re further in their careers to take senior level positions here.

Can you blame them? Selling insurance is not the career path most successful people opt for.

A lot of older people have seriously out of wack salary expectations. Granted some of it is because 2019 saleries aren't good offers anymore
a couple years ago, i went round and round on phone interviews with some company that came to me. Eventually at the third lunch i had with these guys, they gave an offer 40-50k less than i was making. They were insulted i turned it down as if i wasted their time.
It was my fault for not asking salary upfront but since they recruited me, i figured they had a reasonable offer.
