About Kary York

I have been a recruiter for over 20 years, and I specialize exclusively in the insurance industry. I have my WA State Property & Casualty and Life & Disability License which helps me stay current with industry news and hiring trends. I am a Member of the National Insurance Recruiters Association, NIRA, which allows me to extend my network across the country to help find candidates that are planning to move to the Pacific Northwest.

While most of my positions are for experienced insurance professionals, I am also dedicated to bringing new talent into the industry as often as possible. Whether you are an employer or an applicant, I strive to be your hiring partner every step of the way.

When I am not working, you’ll find me outside. In the winter, I am a passionate downhill skier. The off season is split between cycling, kayaking, biking, and hiking.  I am also active in the community as a DECA judge, member of the JDRF Pacific Northwest ride team, and Trip Leader for the S’nojoke Ski Club.

Lois Weathers Commitment - Leadership - Integrity

I've been working with Kary York for almost 3 years now on recruitments for Account Managers/CSR's for our Agency. Kary is by far one of the best Recruiters I've worked with in my 20+ years in Human Resources. Kary takes the time to get to know her clients. She asks in-depth questions about the agency as well as the position she is helping to fill. Kary wants to make sure that there is a good fit on both sides for the agency as well as the candidates she is representing. Kary provides detailed reference checks and assessment scores. Any time I've had further questions on a candidate, Kary jumps on it to gather the information to share with me. Kary has helped me to look outside the box at times and I have appreciated that. She's a true professional and knows insurance well. On top of that, Kary is such a nice person. You feel like you're talking with a friend.

In today’s job market finding reliable individuals with a one-of-a-kind work ethic can be a needle in the haystack. For the 10+ years I’ve worked with Kary she has taken the time to get to know our team, our business, our culture, various roles, organizational workflow, and needs. By doing this she has saved us a tremendous amount of time which has allowed us to maintain our day to day work and not stress about the work involved with recruiting. Because of Kary we have hired phenomenal individuals over the course of our relationship and for that we are forever thankful and will absolutely continue to work with her.

Tonya Mott Director of Continuous Improvement

I’ve kept in contact with Kary over the years, but had never worked with her directly. Finding myself laid-off during this pandemic was incredibly stressful. Kary stepped in to help, and quickly set up an interview for me based on my experience, personality and desired work culture with a company I would probably never have sought out (or known about) on my own because of their location out of state. Thankfully, Kary’s “out-of-the-box” thinking connected me with my new employer in a 100% remote position, something invaluable to me during these times. I’m very excited about my new position and I’m incredibly thankful to Kary for all her hard work. I highly recommend her!!

I found that she indeed had access to jobs that were not openly advertised and that assisted me in getting to just the right place. I highly recommend working with her!!

Kary is just awesome! Once I submitted a request, she responded back very quickly and helped me find an awesome job. Very supportive and even gave me helpful advice. Kary guided me from the interview to finalizing the job offer. If you are looking for an insurance job, especially from the Pacific Northwest area, I really recommend Insurance Resourcing, that will help you to build your career.

Jun Kim

The search for new employment is always a stressful endeavor. The desire for new while still juggling the old; the fear of possible rejection to a company or career that you set your mind on. Kary unburdened a lot of that fear and uncertainty off my shoulders so that I could focus on presenting all that I offer as a candidate. She curated a warm and comfortable atmosphere during my interview that allowed me to truly open-up and allow both my qualifications and my personality to shine. She truly heard what I wanted for my future and did everything in her power to make sure I would end up somewhere that I loved and would ensure my growth in the workforce. I’m now with a company and in a job role that more aligns with the future I want. I can’t recommend Kary York high enough! Knowing she was there to advocate for me and guide me during such an intimidating process allowed me to truly shine.

Kary and I have been in communication with each other for over a year. She is genuine, a good negotiator securing top pay for relevant experience, and personable in her communications. After 10 months she remembered that I was looking for a remote position and thought to contact me when one became available. Kary takes the time to get to know the candidates within her network, and is knowledgeable about the roles she's representing, aligning employers and candidates with positions that meet both their needs. If you have a chance to work with Kary, I wholeheartedly recommend her services.
