Dearth of a salesman

Gary Robards, president of Mukwonago-based GRR Enterprises Inc., is searching for insurance agents for the first time since he started his health insurance company six years ago.
Robards is a 38-year veteran of the insurance industry and says he never thought he would have such a hard time finding any applicant, let alone a strong candidate for the job.
“Right now I have an ad posted on MilwaukeeJobs.com,” Robards said. “I had 200 hits, only four applicants and no one has actually followed through to give us information.”
Robards is not interested in getting stacks of resumes automatically e-mailed to him. Instead, he wants applicants to call a toll-free number.
“Just call the number if you are interested. No resume. These are simple instructions,” Robards said. “The applicants could not even follow directions.”
