1.3.2 Recruitment methods in insurance industry
According to our team analyzed in the midterm assignment, insurance industry has been
gradually shaping the most productive ways to meet internal and external recruitment
needs for job positions in the e-recruitment landscape. Many companies expand
recruitment advertisement through many different methods such as: HR/Insurance
networks, other media, social media, external agencies, education liaison, etc.
Regarding internal recruitment, human resources experts say that this is one of the
leading recruitment methods and is considered the human resource solution of the
insurance industry. During the complicated development of the Covid-19 pandemic,
when managers applied the method of job rotation and job transfer to solve the problem
of human shortage, employee performance increased while they have to take on a larger
number of tasks. Additionally, insurance companies regularly post job advertisements
through internal channels, motivate any employee who thinks they have a chance to get
the job to work harder to prove themselves.
In addition, the method of recruiting through educational contacts tends to be the most
applied at large insurance groups in the Vietnamese market, especially through
internships. Internship programs for final-year students are deployed annually for
companies to recruit talent at the university, then plan to train and develop specialized
skills that are lacking in the insurance industry such as data analysis, risk analysis, etc.
For example, Springboard student challenge (FWD), THE STRIVES (Prudential), EB
Ambassador of Baoviet Life (Bao Viet) are announced every year through online
9
channels such as Linkedin, Facebook, Youtube, Career Website company, Ybox, school
websites,...
Recruitment goal:
The main recruits are final year students or fresh graduates, especially in Banking,
Finance, Sales. Because the job position only requires entry level, not much
experience is required.
Requires a large number of applicants. Because the job is in the cooperation
channel with banks, it is necessary to collect a large amount of application data to
meet each bank's branch.
Post job ads regularly and continuously to maintain the number of candidate data
and easily reach more candidates.
Based on the analyzed recruitment methods of the current Vietnamese insurance industry
along with the recruitment goals analyzed above, our group has decided to choose an
external recruitment method for Junior Financial Advisor position. With the aim to be
able to save recruitment costs, easily post regularly and access more human resources.
Specifically, the group decided to use the social networking channel Facebook through
job groups, internships, especially job groups on positions related to Consulting, Finance,
Insurance, and Sales to post the job advertisement. According to statistics as of June 2021
of NapoleonCat (a tool to measure social network indicators), the total number of
Facebook users in Vietnam is nearly 76 million people, accounting for more than 70% of
the national population and still leading the list of popular social networks in Vietnam.
Therefore, Facebook can also be considered as an extremely potential recruitment
channel to find, exploit and select the most talented candidates. More and more groups
10
post job postings that receive great attention. For that reason, our group decided to choose
Facebook platform as the first recruitment channel.
In addition, combine using LinkedIn as the second social network to post recruitment ads
for this position. LinkedIn is currently rated as the number one recruitment platform in
the world when it owns more than 500 million user profiles across continents. Up to 100
million job applications are made on LinkedIn every month and every minute 3 people
are hired through LinkedIn. It can be seen that besides the social network Facebook,
LinkedIn is also a platform to be able to find potential candidates.
Finally, recruitment channels are indispensable when using the media method for external
recruitment. Candidates can easily search for many job positions in the insurance industry
from channels such as vn.indeed.com, Vietnamworks, Careerbuilder, Tim viec 356,
TopCV, ... According to statistics, recruitment websites These above apps has more than
2.5 million visits per month. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively use all three
recruitment channels above to be able to access an abundant and quality source of
candidates for the position of Financial Advisor.

Table 1. Table of criteria for assessing candidate's skills
To assess the communication skills of candidates, our team proposes to conduct a skills
test based on Mind Tools. After receiving the candidate's CV, the qualified candidates
will be sent the test by email by the company and the results will also be feedback to the
candidate. Each question is rated on 5 levels: 1 - Not at All; 2 – Rarely; 3 – Sometimes; 4
– Often; 5 - Very Often.
1. I try to anticipate and predict possible causes of confusion, and I deal with them up
front.
2. When I write a memo, email, or other document, I give all of the background
information and detail I can to make sure that my message is understood.
3. If I don't understand something, I tend to keep this to myself and figure it out later.
4. I'm surprised to find that people haven't understood what I've said.
5. I can tend to say what I think, without worrying about how the other person
perceives it. I assume that we'll be able to work it out later.
6. When people talk to me, I try to see their perspectives.
7. I use email to communicate complex issues with people. It's quick and efficient.
14
8. When I finish writing a report, memo, or email, I scan it quickly for typos and so
forth, and then send it off right away.
9. When talking to people, I pay attention to their body language.
10. I use diagrams and charts to help express my ideas.
11. Before I communicate, I think about what the person needs to know, and how best
to convey it.
12. When someone's talking to me, I think about what I'm going to say next to make
sure I get my point across correctly.
13. Before I send a message, I think about the best way to communicate it (in person,
over the phone, in a newsletter, via memo, and so on).
14. I try to help people understand the underlying concepts behind the point I am
discussing. This reduces misconceptions and increases understanding.
15. I consider cultural barriers when planning my communications.
Each level corresponds to a score from 1 to 5 (total score 75). Use the scorecard below to
get each candidate's test results. The results are divided into 3 levels: needing further
improvement, being able to communicate, understanding the role of a communicator.

expressing yourself clearly and you may not be receiving messages
