An Introduction to James R. Peterman, CPC

After graduation from college, I spent ten years in the life and employee benefits industries, focusing primarily in the group, special risk and mass marketing areas of the insurance industry. I worked for companies engaged in all major marketing areas of the insurance industry, including Penn Mutual, Reliance Standard Life and Fireman’s Fund.

In 1981, I entered the recruiting industry and in 1983 established Kenneth James Associates. As a principal of this firm, I managed the insurance recruiting division. In 1986, the name of the insurance division was changed to J. R. Peterman Associates.

I have attained the Certified Personnel Consultant designation awarded by the National Association of Personnel Services. I recruit in all insurance disciplines from accounting to underwriting in all areas of life and health insurance, specifically: group insurance and employee benefits consulting, individual life and health, including life settlements, association, expatriate benefits including travel assistance.

After more than twenty years of recruiting experience, I feel uniquely qualified to counsel both candidates and employers involved in the search, interview, and hiring process.

Jeremy Peterman worked as a group sales representative for First Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company, based in New York City. He earned his life and health sales license and trained for six months in every aspect of group insurance product and administration. Spending months in Reliance Standard’s home office gave Jeremy valuable exposure to all operating areas and key knowledge of the home office environment within the insurance industry.

Jeremy earned his degree at Roger Williams University studying finance and international business. He has since taken additional courses in risk management and insurance, insurance laws, fraud, and business ethics.

Successfully recruiting since 2006, this education and experience combines to give Jeremy a great understanding of the insurance industry and the ability to forge strong relationships with brokers and insurers. He is uniquely qualified to assess and evaluate candidates for a particular position. Jeremy’s commitment is to work with client companies on a confidential basis, with thoroughness and integrity.
