NEW YORK (June 21, 2016) – The Professional Independent Insurance Agents of Colorado (PIIAC) endorsed Work At Home Vintage Experts (WAHVE) to provide contract staffing services to its members.

WAHVE’s insurance experts work remotely using technology tools.

Bryan Bernier, CEO of PIIAC, said that WAHVE gives Colorado’s agents another option for professional staffing needs. “Finding and retaining the right staff present an ongoing challenge in the agency business. With boomers reaching traditional retirement age and millennial recruits difficult to attract, independent agencies need alternatives,” said Bernier. “WAHVE provides independent agencies with insurance professionals who bring significant agency experience in customer service, underwriting and other vital insurance workflows.”

Bill Hunt, executive vice president and chief sales officer of WAHVE, said: “Many insurance agencies find it tough to hire the experienced insurance professionals they need locally. WAHVE widens the geographic horizons for these insurance firms. With WAHVE’s in-depth screening and matching processes, we are able to find the expert who is the right fit for that particular firm’s needs, whether in commercial lines or personal lines.”
