Northwestern Mutual – Indiana aims to add 80 financial representatives and 138 financial representative interns across the state in its offices in Indianapolis and Northern Indiana. The Indianapolis-area offices include downtown Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood and Zionsville, and its northern offices are located in Merrillville, Mishawaka and Fort Wayne. The effort is part of Northwestern Mutual’s nationwide goal to recruit a record-setting 6,400 financial professionals in 2014.
Northwestern Mutual is actively growing its field force to keep pace with growing demand locally for financial security guidance, products and services. Local demand reflects the need nationwide, with research showing 63 percent of Americans believe their overall financial planning needs improvement and half have no plan in place.
Northwestern Mutual expects more than half of new financial representatives in 2014 will be “career changers” – professionals who believe they have reached the ceiling in their current occupation and are looking for an opportunity to grow.
