MetLife launches Nepal's first digital recruitment solution

KATHMANDU, March 24: MetLife (Nepal) has announced the launch of MetLife Agency Recruitment Solution (MARS), the country’s first digital recruitment platform for insurance consultants.

In MARS, potential Insurance Consultants can sign up, create their profile with required documents, take their mandatory training online, and apply for licenses. Additionally, candidates can choose their own manager by analyzing profiles available in MARS, which will give them an opportunity to work with their desired mentor in the future and to experience a comprehensive journey as an agent.

MARS is an addition to MetLife Nepal’s continuous transformation in digital sales with KITE (Keep in Touch Ever), DAP (Distribution Advantage Platform), and LMS (Leads Management System) already in use. This paperless solution will enable faster and more efficient recruitment of Consultants.
