We are a professional executive search and recruiting firm specializing in insurance, safety and risk management on a national and international basis. The firm operates under the guidance of Kirby B. Butler, Jr., CPC, a seventeen-year veteran of the insurance industry and insurance recruiter since 1984. Our firm has completed nationwide searches from entry level to executive officer level in all disciplines including: underwriting, marketing, sales, claims, loss control, accounting, finance, actuarial and information technology for carriers, agencies, brokerage firms and private industry.

We can provide you with a multitude of services which enable us to customize a search or staffing solution for your individual needs. These services include the following: Retained and Contingency Search, Contract Staffing, Temporary Staffing, and Out-placement.

Retained Search: Assignments are generally reserved for rush or extremely sensitive assignments and typically involves a partial advanced payment that gives priority to your assignment. The full payment is not contingent upon placement. We have access to the services of top research groups used by national retainer search firms, so why waste time and money on the so called Top Retainer Firms when they really don't understand the Insurance Industry like we do. By the time they get over the learning curve of just what is involved, we could have the position filled.

Contingency Search: Payment of search fees is "contingent" on the hiring of a referred candidate. Based on your requirements, we conduct an in-depth search but only receive payment when we produce results.

Contract Staffing: Allows you to bring in professional-level employees for a specific length of time or for a specific project. Top Echelon Contracting, Inc. allows us to supply our client companies with top-notch professionals for a specific length of time or for a specific project. The contractor is the employee of our contracting division, freeing our client from administrative problems, tax and workers' compensation issues, payroll, and unemployment liabilities.

Temporary Staffing: For short-term and/or project needs. Originally used primarily as replacements for office or light industrial workers, temporary help is used across a broad range of skills and occupations to substitute for employees on leave, on vacation, or in emergencies, or to provide supplemental support where there are temporary skills shortages, or to lend technical expertise to specific projects, or for peak load needs.

Out-placement: Personality and Career Profile Testing is available. Designed to assist terminated employees in preparing for and finding new employment through short-term or long-term counseling and support services, on a group or individual basis.

Relocation Service: Free to client and candidate, enables client and candidate to receive up to 50% discount on moving cost through major national moving companies as well as free apartment locator and real estate assistance, plus cost of living information.
