About Insurance Personnel Service

We Introduce the Right Employees to the Right Insurance Businesses

For over 40 years we have introduced people to people in the insurance industry.

We see employment as people solving problems. We introduce the right people to the right people at the right time. Quickly and efficiently, we help them to see whether they can help each other solve their problems profitably together.

A quick ad or a resume slapped on the Internet gets lucky results sometimes. We know it happens. And we know it doesn't happen a lot. That's why it's called luck.

Our work dramatically increases the probability of matching the right person to the right opportunity at just the right time.

How We Do It:

We network constantly in the Insurance industry. Because our business is people solving problems, we spend our day talking to people. We find out who they are and what they need to succeed.

If you are a qualified candidate, you work too hard to network the way we do. If you are a successful company, even your HR department can't afford that kind of time. That's our job.

We know the best talent who won't answer an ad.
We know often a great company with openings and no time to announce them.

Company Profile:

Alfred Padway was a CPCU with an independent insurance agency in Wisconsin when he moved to California. After a brief experience with a personnel agency, he knew that there was a better way. In 1970 he formed IPS, a personnel agency just for the insurance industry. His wife Esther, formerly a school principal, joined Al and organized the operations with a combination of human warmth and no-nonsense efficiency gained from her years in education.

Al and Esther are gone now, but IPS is still in the family and still based on their principles and their long-term view of relationships. Ethical standards are paramount. Many of our original customers are still loyal after over 40 years. One of the most common comments from visitors to our office is how different, how comfortable and humane it is.

We understand insurance, and we understand the insurance business.

There are few if any major brokerages in our area that don't have IPS candidates on staff.

Simply put, there is no better possibility of making a good personnel match than by working with IPS. Coupled with decades of contacts, marketing, advertising, and networking in the industry, IPS strives to add value beyond the raw resumes and blind referrals of other personnel firms or methods.
