What should an insurance agent resume include?
Insurers and brokers hiring agents in India look for an active IRDAI licence, persistency figures and proof that you can build a client base, not just close a few policies. Mention policies issued, premium collected, renewal rates and claim support. Recruiters also value regional language skills and a clean record of no mis-selling complaints.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Needs-based cover assessment
- Health insurance policy terms
- Claims assistance
- Renewal and persistency management
- Proposal and disclosure accuracy
From our sample resumes:
- Anjali’s persistency figure of 88 percent shows she keeps clients paying, which matters more to an insurer than a single big month of sales.
- Gurpreet’s factory walkthrough bullet proves he understands commercial risk, not just retail policies, which widens the roles he can apply for.
