The Challenge of Hiring in Insurance
Around ten years ago, Inszone Insurance, led by Norm Hudson, faced difficulty hiring for back-office roles. This issue was part of a wider challenge in the insurance sector, where independent agencies struggled to compete for talent against larger corporations.

Inszone explored outsourcing to address labor shortages and discovered a gap in the market for dedicated outsourced staff who could work around the clock.
Staff Boom emerged as a solution, offering dedicated teams for each client that could work around the clock. This model provided agencies with the flexibility and support needed to handle various tasks without the need for additional in-house staff.
