33. NAIC STATE BASED SYSTEMS
Tip
List out the licenses
your role requires so
that you can quickly
filter through and
narrow your leads as
you are searching.

your openings require specific
licenses.
2. Strong source to identify insurance,
financial planners, sales leaders.
3. Requires a little thinking but the
return is fast.
34. NAIC STATE BASED SYSTEMS
Sourcing for licensed talent just got easy (ier). Source the NAIC database here
When sourcing for jobs that require a specific license, you can often look for people who are licensed
using public records. Some common examples are insurance, financial planners, sales leaders etc.
Sales roles are great suspects for this type of search because these candidates tend to be
experienced in 2 things:
1. Intangible sales requiring a consultative sales approach
2. Have a minimal variation between vendors when it comes to products/services and pricing
making the sales differentiation hard
