Kelley Financial group to hire 100, looking for home-grown talent

Kelley Financial Group, an office of Northwestern Mutual, is hiring 100 financial representatives over the next three years. Kelley’s effort is part of Northwestern Mutual’s plan to recruit 1,900 financial representatives nationally by the end of 2009.


“Families’ financial needs are growing, and to meet those needs, we are expanding our field force.  Our rigorous selection and training standards are known throughout the industry, and the quality of our financial professionals distinguishes Northwestern Mutual,” said Shawn Kelley, managing partner of the Kelley Financial Group.


In addition to investment products, the company provides Life Insurance, Disability Income Insurance, Annuities, and Long-Term Care Insurance.


Kelley has looked for talented representatives in several ways, including through the Association for Corporate Growth Cincinnati Cup, an MBA-level business skills competition. Business students from Northern Kentucky University, Miami University, Xavier University, the University of Cincinnati and the University of Dayton competed in the completion where Northwestern was its lead sponsor.


“The ACG Cup provides a platform for the best and brightest from nearby colleges and universities to demonstrate their business skills. To make Cincinnati the more financially secure, we need to keep homegrown talent in our hometown,” said Kelley. “There are incredible opportunities for graduates in the business world, in the arts, philanthropy and life right here in the Tri-State, and perhaps with The Kelley Financial Group.
