Paragon Recruitment

Paragon Recruitment provides Professional and White Collar Recruitment to the insurance industry Australia-wide, with a special focus on Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.

• Specialist coverage of broking, underwriting and claims roles rather than general white collar hiring.
• Defined candidate experience and client experience processes, so both sides of a placement are worked rather than just the vacancy, with the team going the extra mile for both the candidate and the client.
• Employers and employees are helped to understand each other quickly, which the team treats as the point of intelligent recruitment.
• Kayleigh Metcalfe is the Perth based recruiter, working with a wider team of Steve Addis, Becky Hyndman, Stephanie Blewett and Hannah Macaskill.

Best for: Insurance employers filling broking, underwriting and claims roles who want a recruiter working only in that industry.

Paragon Recruitment provides Psychometric and Cognitive Testing as a built-in part of the insurance placements it makes.

• A modality assessment completed before a candidate starts, showing an employer how that person learns and processes information.
• A second in-depth assessment after the start date, showing how the person best receives feedback.
• Results used to reduce onboarding confusion and to make performance conversations less stressful.

Best for: Insurance employers who want a new starter’s learning and feedback style understood before the first review.
