In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Peskin, CEO and Chief Finder of Keepers at Global Recruiters of Denver, to talk about the power of connection, strategic career moves, and building a more inclusive insurance industry. Jessica’s journey started by chance in real estate title insurance, but it quickly turned into a lifelong career. After realizing the economic and personal toll of constant travel, she made the bold move to Denver, where she launched her boutique recruiting firm in 2019. Unlike high-volume recruiters, Jessica focuses on strategic placements that create long-term success, finding a special joy in matching the right candidate with the right opportunity. Her approach is all about looking at the bigger picture: what clients need, what candidates bring to the table, and how to ensure both sides thrive.

Beyond recruitment, Jessica is a dedicated contributor to InsurTech Denver, a passionate advocate for women in insurance, and a firm believer in the power of relationships. She shares why building a “board of advisors” is essential for career growth, how women can break into leadership roles, and why compensation transparency and workplace flexibility matter. Jessica encourages young women to find their niche within insurance, speak up, and stay curious.
