Selection Process Summary

To begin the selection process, contact a recruiter to discuss the requirements and complete the Sales & Leadership Career Profile (SLCP) questionnaire. This is a tool used to predict your probability of success in insurance sales.

If you receive an acceptable rating on the SLCP, you move forward. If you don't receive an acceptable rating, you may complete the SLCP again in one year.

The questionnaire considers the following about you:

• Background
• Current situation
• Financial situation
• Recruiting experience
• Work preferences, goals, and motivations
• Familiarity with the career
• Energy
• Business leadership aptitude

After you receive an acceptable rating on the Sales & Leadership Career Profile (SLCP), you receive more details about becoming an agent, about the Company, agent business support, and compensation.

Career Understanding is a Web-based experience where you'll find learning modules and videos, as well as e-mail and chat tools for connecting with State Farm recruiting contacts and other agency candidates. Career Understanding will help you learn more about what it's really like to be a State Farm agent.

A competency-based panel interview with State Farm executives and agency field leadership helps us learn about your strengths and skills. You present your business proposal. If approved, you join the Approved Candidate pool for current or future agent career opportunities.

As part of the Approved Candidate pool, you have access to all agent postings in Canada. Once you've posted for an opportunity, you may be invited to a site interview held by local management to select candidates for intern training.

This step includes, and is not limited to, standard reviews of your credit report, work history, and motor vehicle record. These reports help determine your eligibility for meeting provincial and federal licensing and sponsorship requirements. A job offer is made, contingent upon an acceptable background check.

Once selected for internship, you become a paid, full-time employee of State Farm. Intern training lasts about six to nine months. It includes self-study, classroom training, licensing, field visits, and time with a State Farm agent to gain hands-on experience in the role. State Farm offers assistance in training your team and pays licensing expenses. We may also pay team wages, up to 90 days, during the last stage of your internship.

After successfully completing your internship, you are appointed a 12-Month Term Independent Contractor Agent (TICA), receive a signing bonus (amount may vary by market), and open your agency. After successful completion of your TICA agreement, you sign the State Farm agent's agreement.
