DENVER, March 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate Insurance Company is launching a recruitment campaign to bring 128 jobs to Colorado this year. For jobseekers interested in a new career, Allstate might have the right opportunity.

"We're seeking professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit, looking to own and operate their own business and those who are interested in working in the agency," said Gary Chitwood, Allstate's West Central strategic deployment leader.

The ideal agent candidate wants to build a legacy that they can pass down for generations. By protecting and serving families, agents can make a substantial impact on their local communities. And with the Allstate brand and team behind their new business venture, they have the support they need to be successful.

The opportunity also brings unique fiscal benefits to the small business owner compared to other insurers. "Allstate agents own the economic interest in their business," continued Chitwood. "Allstate agency owners can sell the economic interest in their agency. No other branded insurer has this option."

The expansion efforts to match the growth trends span across seven states, bringing a total of 468 jobs:
