Kevin M. Burch

CEO

I co-founded Questpro Consultants in August of 1996 where I joined my partners in building the foundation of what is now considered to be the premier Insurance Recruiting firm in the nation. I went from the next great sportscaster and play by play man to sitting behind a desk and dialing for dollars! Now 25 Years later, I can safely say the best decision I’ve ever made. From coast to coast, my team and I match top notch insurance talent with the absolute best Insurance Carriers, Brokers, TPA’s and more. We are way more than headhunters. Questpro and the Q Companies are the one stop shop when it comes to looking for supreme talent of all levels.

When I am not playing KOAR (King of All Recruiters), I’m at home with my lovely wife, Lauren, and three sons, that continue to challenge me and keep me young: Parker, Owen, and Taylor. I’m also addicted and frustrated all at once by golf but love the game just as much as I love my family and team.

Shoot me an email! I’m looking forward to helping you find that dream job in the very near future.

Johnny Park

Partner, President - Questpro Direct Hire

I’ve spent most of my working life at Questpro, starting in January 2000. I began as a Recruiting Coordinator, learning the ins and outs of recruiting and the insurance industry. In 2006, I started up our research department, growing it to where it’s an important piece of our recruiting process today. In 2013, I became a Partner, where I focused on recruiting C-level jobs and enhancing our client base. At the beginning of 2016, I was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, leading our direct hire team and overseeing all of our recruiting tools and systems companywide.

I was born in Farmington Hills, MI but was raised in Fort Worth, TX. Growing up I wanted to become a doctor. However, after realizing the amount of school I would have to go through along with the price tag involved, I went to college wondering where life would lead me.

After I graduated from Boston University in 1999 and spending a short time working for a mutual fund company in Boston, my heart brought me back to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

I have 2 daughters, Callie who is 3 years old and Maddie who is 1 year old.

Kathy O'Brien

Kathy O'Brien

Partner, President- QTemps

I found the “Golden Ticket” 19 years ago when I was hired by Questpro to grow its temporary division, QTemps. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be working for such an energetic, fun-loving company that I call family whilst being able to work for such a kind and caring CEO, Kevin Burch.

I spent the first part of my career knocking on doors around the insurance industry, creating awareness of our new temporary division, QTemps. In 2013, I became partner of QTemps, managing our recruiters and the entire division’s operations. Over the years, we grew, going from 20 temps to over 250, with close to $11 million in sales. Now, as President of QTemps, I continue to grow and manage the division.

I have been a consistent member of Questpro’s Presidents Club, Employee of the Year, and top Producer of the year. I was born and raised in Dallas, TX and recently married my 8th grade boyfriend (yes you read that right), Patrick, in September of 2020. I have two beautiful step-daughters, the sweetest sister anyone could ever have and two amazing nephews that I adore.

Jillanna Pomelow

Partner, Vice President - Managed Care/Cost Containment Practice

A proud “Okie,” not from Muskogee but close to it, Jillanna joined Questpro Consultants as a “Rookie” Recruiter in the summer of 2000 and promoted to Partner in 2010. Recognizing the market demand for quality recruitment services within the rapidly growing Cost Containment Arena, Jillanna was responsible for the ramp up of the Questpro Managed Care Division in 2004. Since 2003 Metroplex Association of Personnel Consultants (MAPC) has named her one of the top industry recruiters: top 8 in 2008, 2009, 2010 & top 5 in 2011. Questpro Company awards include: Presidents’ Club Member & Top 3 Producer for the past nine consecutive years, including being named “Employee of the Year” in 2005 & 2012. She attributes success to her attention to providing results driven service to clients by continuously delivering high demand “A” players within the P&C Insurance and HealthCare disciplines of Claims/Workers’ Compensation, Sales/Account Management, IT, and Legal. Jillanna holds a Bachelors degree in Business Communications from Baylor University “Sic ‘Em Bears” and a Masters in Human Resources from Dallas Baptist University. Additionally, Jillanna loves spending time with family/friends especially her two busy little boys. As Board Secretary, she is also an active member of her son’s BSE PTA. Other interests include running, dance and travel.

Taylor Jones

Taylor Jones

Partner & Vice President - Business Development

I have the best job in the world serving as Partner & Vice President of Business Development for Questpro Consultants! I get to collaborate with hiring managers, HR leaders, and executives across the country to develop and grow their teams. After spending a few years in a recruitment-focused role for our firm, I understand what our clients are looking for in a staffing partner and what it takes to find the right talent at the right time for the right team. The recruiting game is not a one-size-fits-all solution, so I strive to build relationships with my clients and learn the motivating factors behind their hiring needs.

After graduating from the University of Kansas, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my career – which of course my parents were thrilled about. After being referred to the industry from a friend, I was offered a position at Lockton Companies working on large national accounts before transitioning to the HR team as a Recruiting Specialist. While recruiting for Lockton, I was able to work with Questpro recruiters as a supplemental resource for candidates, and I witnessed firsthand the dedication and passion they had for serving their clients. When Kevin Burch, our CEO, reached out to me about a new position building the QGrads division, I knew I had to jump at the opportunity. Through the P&C coverage training I received early on, and the experience from both in-house and agency roles, I feel grateful to have the opportunity to build upon those skills in my role with our sales team. I now work with our internal recruiters to strategize the best ways to support our clients, along with collaborating with some of the greatest leaders in our industry to solve their hiring challenges. I’ve landed speaking opportunities at conferences across the country and am honored to have been selected as a Rising Star in Insurance in 2021 and as an APCIA Emerging Leader in 2020. Questpro values
community partnerships and volunteerism, and I am honored to serve as an Associate Board Member for the Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation (IICF), as well as a Strategic Planning Committee Member with RISE Professionals.

When I’m not working you can find me coordinating travel plans with my husband Nathan (a
Houston-native and fellow Jayhawk) and our one-year-old son, Thatcher. I’m grateful to work for a CEO like Kevin who understands that I fully utilize my PTO, and I’m not above hopping on an international flight and jetting off for a long-weekend whenever I get the chance! I like to say I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list. I’m a sixth-generation Texan and while I love exploring the world, my favorite corner of it is here in Dallas with family. My long-term goals include earning a sommelier certification, learning French fluently, and driving our Questpro brand to new heights across the country.

 

Add me on LinkedIn if you’d like to discuss your hiring strategy, growth goals, or your most recent getaway – I’ll be all ears.

Jason Keck

Partner & Vice President of Life Insurance Practice

I got my start in Insurance recruiting back in 1997 with one of the largest MRI offices in the country, where I learned the business from the ground up. After spending the last 13 years at Adecco Staffing, I decided it was time for a change, and I was lucky to find my new role at Questpro. From day one in the business I have focused on working with top rated Life Insurance and Life Reinsurance companies across the country. Today I still work specifically with the Life Insurance industry and work most every type of position primarily at the mid-career level and up to Executive. Types of positions that my team and I work on include: Accounting/Finance, Actuarial, Claims, Data Science/Modeling, Investment/Asset Management, Legal/Compliance, Medical Director, New Business, Operations/Process Improvement, Project Management, Sales/Distribution, Underwriting, Wholesalers and Executive level positions from VP to CEO.

I was born and raised in the Dallas, TX area, and I have lived in Allen, TX for the last 15+ years. I am a proud “LumberJack” graduating from Stephen F Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX. I have been married to the same beautiful woman for 25 years and have 2 sons who are 23 and 18 years old. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife, going to concerts, singing a little karaoke, and of course going to the movies of playing darts with my boys. I am an avid tennis player (4.5 level) and a tennis nerd.

Business Development Consultant

In my career, I’ve had the privilege of using my skills in strategic public relations, relationship-based sales, effective communication, and transformative writing at companies that embraced and equaled my passion for excellence.

Today, I am thrilled to serve as Business Development Consultant for Questpro supporting our national sales and marketing teams based throughout the country. Helping others reach their highest potential is a thrill for me that never fades.

In my spare time I enjoy traveling far and wide, writing in all forms, strumming my ukulele in an (only slightly improving) effort to make it sing, and, without a doubt, every moment I’m fortunate enough to spend with my beloved family and friends.

I look forward to connecting with you!

Charlene DeMers _ with background

Charlene DeMers

Director of Marketing

I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors in Advertising and Public Relations and a Minor in Marketing. 

I began my professional career in healthcare marketing, which led me to a business development position with a focus in workers’ compensation and managed care. I was ultimately referred to Questpro by an industry friend, and then employee, and I proudly joined Questpro in February 2016 as Business Development Director for Florida – focusing on establishing and maintaining relationships with carriers, TPAs, agencies, brokerages and MGAs throughout the state. After four years of helping clients meet their individual needs, I transitioned to Sales Research, where my daily concentration shifted to our internal business development team, working to equip each member of our sales team with data and opportunities needed to form new relationships and write new success stories of their own. Today, I serve as Director of Marketing where I have the privilege of sharing our team’s many capabilities and successes across multiple channels.

As an INFJ (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and strong on the CliftonStrengths Empathy talent scale, I naturally strive to understand and relate with others, and have enjoyed learning the ins and outs of the insurance and risk management industry, from our clients’ perspective. I love hearing success stories from clients about how our services have assisted in the growth and success of their respective businesses.

It’s truly an honor to work alongside a team full of knowledgeable, skilled, caring individuals, who each share in the same vision and goal of helping outstanding companies attract, hire and retain outstanding talent. It’s a great feeling to know that collectively, we’re working together to make a positive impact.

As a Native Floridian, I love everything about the Sunshine State, and spend much of my free time outdoors with my daughter and our three goldendoodles.

Sandy Zupancic

Business Development Director, Healthcare Practice

My formal education was based on visual arts, and I worked in the film industry for a few years before finding a permanent home in staffing. Throughout my 20+ year staffing career, I have been afforded the opportunity to work with large international companies as well as small regional players- Blue Shield of California, Aetna, Amazon, and M&M Mars to name a few.

I particularly enjoy the insurance industry because it is constantly evolving. I relish the process of building relationships with clients by supporting their business needs. The work I do in solving problems is important to me because I enjoy the process of providing solutions that will either support my partner’s challenges or potentially change someone’s career for the positive. Helping customers and colleagues through obstacles provides a sense of purpose and is a personal motivator.

After work I can be found enjoying the Chicago lakefront or exploring the many restaurants and live music venues my hometown has to offer. When I have the chance to take a break and get away, I like to visit friends and family in Europe and also explore new destinations.

Abby Baker

Business Development Director, Healthcare Practice

I am beyond excited to be with Questpro and am thrilled to help in establishing and growing the new Healthcare division – including a concentration on temp staffing! During the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of my experience turned to nurse staffing and helping companies adjust to the new normal that was presented. I’m proud of the frontline workers that I have established lifelong connections with through that phase of life! My dedication in healthcare business development is to ensure that all companies have access to the availability of staffing to keep the wheels turning.

I’ve always said that no one starts out in recruiting – it’s normally where you land & hit the ground running to see what you can do! It’s a fun and exciting field of business, and every day is something new – which is what I love about it. I have over 12+ years of experience in medical and legal recruiting, operations and business development. You wear a ton of hats in the recruiting industry, and it’s a delicate balance of making sure they all stay on and in place. Thankfully, I absolutely love everything about recruiting and business development and they have been passions of mine for the last decade. I love helping others discover what a huge asset using recruiting services are and when clients can find their rockstar(s) and candidates find their true career match – I consider that a huge win. I love talking and getting to know people and have discovered when you take the time to truly listen to others it can make everything a lot easier.

Born and raised in Virginia, I attended VCU and graduated with a degree in Political Science. I absolutely love dogs and have a Great Pyrenees and a Lab right now and cannot wait to add more paws to the family! Living on six acres, I love trying to farm & grow vegetables and spending time around the firepit. As well, I adore spending time with my family, playing golf and watching college football. Kentucky is my second home, and I’m a lifelong University of Louisville fan – go Cards!

I look forward to helping you – please connect with me on LinkedIn and/or feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email – I’m always here to help!

Ben Volkmer

Ben Volkmer

Vice President of Client Services & Strategy

In 2004, I returned to Dallas from Austin after a couple so-so years at the University of Texas in need of both funds and direction. For three years I sought a new path, working at a sign shop, CPA’s office, and full-commission sales while taking night classes and attempting to get some sleeping.

In 2007, through the great fortune of an old friend’s referral, I met Kevin Burch and a tribe of people who spoke my language, were doing something I knew how to do (sell), in an industry I happened to know a little bit about (insurance). What was cloudy became perfectly clear. Sourcing in a bullpen turned into clients, clients turned into sales, sales turned into referral business and RFP’s, and suddenly, I had something of a career going.

In 2013, I opted to go remote and somewhat ironically moved right back to Austin. My recruiting focus, network and responsibilities have evolved over time, but simply said, what I do best is help solve talent problems, which in insurance means helping incumbents dominate, new entrants grow, insurtechs disrupt, and fellow industry service providers deliver value.

Given the investment and attention insurance is receiving, what I love most about insurance recruiting is that nobody knows what any of this will look like in 5-10 years, and I get to help people mitigate that risk in their career.

When I am not busy recruiting or chasing around my family, you can usually find me running or cycling around Austin’s beautiful landscape, golfing at one of it’s historic municipal courses, or patronizing a local brewery.

Erin Cross

Director of Client Services, Direct Hire

Although I claim to be a native Texan, I was actually born in OK and moved to Dallas when I was 6. My dad nick-named me his “Okie from Muskogee” after a Merle Haggard song. To this day, I am still not sure why.

After graduating from Texas Tech University in 2006 in degree in Communications (after changing my major 3 times), I came back to Dallas, like many others after college, wondering what was next. My gift of gab and desire to know everything about everyone (my friends have a saying about me, “everywhere she goes there is not a stranger she does not know”), led me staffing with Questpro in 2010.

I love recruiting insurance professionals and have learned so much about the industry and the people the last 10 years. I have placed account managers, risk and claims professionals and much more. My priority is making sure I understands my clients’ needs, so they have the best experience while working with Questpro and receive top talent for their team.

Outside of work, I’m an active member of DCA, RIMS and IIAD, and I love attending networking events. Since I’ve started with Questpro, I’ve gotten engaged, married, and I’m now a proud mother to my crazy outgoing son, Otto! I couldn’t have asked for a better support system through it all!

Lesa Smith

Director of Client Services

My passion and success as an insurance recruiter can be traced back to my days working as an insurance claims examiner. What can I say – I love the insurance industry, and I can’t quit it!

I’ve been with Questpro since 2011 on the QTemps team as a Senior Recruiter and Client Manager. My focus is with both temp and temp-to-hire positions for claims professionals, underwriting support, account managers, customer service representatives and administrative staff. During my ten years with the company, I’ve received the following recognitions: Presidents’ Club Member, 2015 Employee of the Year, and 2020 Producer of the Year. My goal is to provide superior service to both our clients and candidates.

A long-time resident of the Dallas area, I enjoy sewing and quilting, and spending time with friends and family. Also, I’m a “groupie” to a local Jazz band my sister-in-law sings with. If you’re in the Dallas area, shoot me a message and come along sometime!

I’m a Florida native but moved to Colorado in 2015 and never looked back. I’ve been in the insurance industry since 2010 starting in business development then moving into recruiting in 2014. I quickly discovered that people are my passion and I enjoy helping folks discover their passions & assisting them in finding their perfect position. I truly believe we should love what we do every day because life is too short!

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family. We enjoy everything under the sun in all the seasons – hiking, skiing, watching football, evening walks & most of all traveling.

Elizabeth Hurt

Elizabeth Hurt

Recruiter- Direct Hire

Shortly after graduating from UCO with my Bachelor’s in Business Administration in 2010, I found an opportunity to join the recruiting industry with an IT Staffing Firm as Recruiting Coordinator. Two years later in 2012, I joined Questpro in their Research Department working closely with the Direct Hire Recruiters, helping to source and identify candidates. In 2016, I got the opportunity to move into a Recruiting role with Questpro on the Direct Hire Team and realized this was my calling! I enjoy developing long-term relationships with candidates and placing top talent in the insurance space. I have won several awards with Questpro and have consistently been part of President’s Club each year.

 

In 2020, I made a very hard decision to leave my QP Family and join a managed care company to do internal recruiting for nurse case managers as well as marketing for the company. I gained valuable experience working directly with key decision makers and hiring managers within the workers’ compensation space. In January 2022 I returned home to Questpro as a Senior Recruiter working on the Managed Care Division Team recruiting Adjusters, Nurses, Sales Executives and much more for the workers’ compensation and cost containment space.

 

I love being involved as much as a can with various insurance industry associations including RIMS, DCA, Blue Goose TX, PRIMA, and YRP. I am excited to help grow our Managed Care Division and continue to connect with professionals in this space!

 

I’m married to the love of my life and my best friend. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with family, especially my two awesome nephews!

Jason Baber

Recruiter - Life Practice

I recruit on the Life Insurance team at Questpro working roles including Actuaries, Data Scientists, Underwriters, Project/Product Managers and Executives across the Life, Retirement, LTC, CI/DI, and Health space.

I’m a new dad (at least if my 6-year-old chihuahua doesn’t count), so I spend most of my free time these days staring lovingly at my baby girl and trying to help my spouse take care of her. When not doing that, I play the drums and piano (check me out at theslowrain.bandcamp.com), reading boring history and philosophy books, and I love horror fiction as well. I also watch too much TV and care way too much about the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers and college football.

I love my Questpro family and have been specializing in the Life space for over 2 years. The biggest thrill I get here is learning about innovation and change in the insurance industry and helping candidates get to work for companies that are pushing the envelope in the world of InsurTech! If you ever want to just talk about technology, culture, history, philosophy, or if you actually want to pursue new opportunities in the Life Insurance sector PLEASE reach out to me!

I was born in Dallas but currently live in Orlando, Florida. Before Questpro, I was a National Recruiter for a travel nurse staffing agency, and before that I worked in Hospitality/Sales for 10 years. With my hospitality & recruiting background I hope to carry over my communication and teamwork skills, as well as my ability to be resilient and adapt to any challenge/opportunity that comes my way. I look forward to gaining a wide understanding for the insurance world and helping individuals with their insurance career journeys. Outside of work, I enjoy all activities under the sun: nature hikes, bike rides, beach. My favorite is when I get to enjoy the natural springs with my husband and 3 daughters.

Recruiter - Direct Hire

I am a Tampa native but love visiting the mountains of North Carolina as often as I can. I graduated from Auburn University (War Eagle) and went on to get a masters from University of South Florida. In 2020, I joined the commercial insurance department of an agency where I supported the client service team and a large book of business. I currently hold a Florida 2-20 Property & Casualty General Lines License. I moved into recruiting because I am passionate about helping people live their best lives and find genuine happiness, and the right job is a big part of that!

When I’m not working, I enjoy long walks with my Shih-Tzu Thomas, spending time with my family, cooking and doing “foodie” things, ANY sort of game (I love competing), singing karaoke, kayaking, reading, and motivational/self-improvement podcasts! I am so excited to be a part of the Questpro family!

QTemps Senior Recruiter

Remember the nerve wrecking jitters you’d feel the before school Field Days? You feel beyond excited and won’t stop till you win first place. (Queue Rocky music playing in the background.) This is how I feel every day, seeking new insurance talent.

I have been in recruiting for 8+ years and have assisted major companies in different industries like accounting, clerical and now insurance. My years of experience has taught me that finding the right job/candidate can be challenging but always rewarding. After all the questions and searching, it’s a sigh of relief knowing you found the perfect candidate for the job. I am obviously passionate about what I do.

Outside of work, I love spending time with family, fishing (even though I am horrible at it), cleaning (my form of meditation), or planning my next trip. I’m also a big foodie, sitting down with 3-4 plates just to taste a bit of everything.

Chrissy Wolf

QTemps Recruiter

I started my staffing career in 2014 and have been a Recruiter in the insurance industry since 2016. The majority of my background is temporary staffing in P&C, Health and Life, although P&C has always my sweet spot. My Bachelor’s degree is in Marketing and Sales from DeVry University. I was lucky enough to land a place here at the Questpro family in Fall of 2021. Truly the best company I have ever been a part of!

I was born and raised in Chicago, and I currently live in the Chicagoland suburbs with my finance and two cats. I enjoy nature walks, bike rides, eating Chicago pizza, and traveling (especially to the sunshine state to escape the winters)!

Jen Story

Senior Recruiting Account Manager

In 2014, the Recruiting industry found me when I was referred by an industry professional and former colleague. I began my professional career as a Research Analyst on the Questpro direct hire team, where I combined my love for investigating and digging for information along with my passion for developing relationships, to attract top tier insurance talent for our clients. In the game of recruiting, I play an active role to tee up highly qualified candidates for our recruiters to knock them out of the park. Our unique approach and vast skill set allows for our teamwork to be second to none.

I’ve been a proud member of Questpro’s President’s Club for the past 6 years and received recognition for Employee of the Year in 2017. In 2018, I was promoted to Research Manager, overseeing the direct hire research team.

Born and raised in Texas, I recently relocated to Boise, ID with my husband and two furry four-legged children. Since relocating, I’ve assumed the role of Recruiting Account Manager. I enjoy being out in nature and exploring the majestic Gem State, turning people’s junk into treasure, and discovering new local breweries.

Thalina Salinas

Recruiting Account Manager

Growing up, I lived in East Texas, Omaha Nebraska, then Dallas as a teenager. A business-comedy telenovela sparked my passion for marketing many years ago, so I decided to pursue a degree in marketing at The University of Texas at Dallas. While at UT Dallas, I joined the Professional Sales Program where I learned the science of social selling. During my last semesters at UT Dallas, I interned as a commercial lines sales intern at a Dallas-based insurance agency where I learned to appreciate insurance and all its moving parts. I graduated with my B.S. in Marketing and a USCA Sales Certification. I truly have a passion for helping people, so I am excited to be a part of the Questpro team where I can help folks find the next step in their careers! In my free time, I like to play outdoors with my 5-year-old, Benjamin, who has recently taken up a love for tee-ball.

Dalton Teague

Recruiting Account Manager

Before landing at Questpro, my career focused on live event production, volunteer training and recruitment, and podcast production, primarily for houses of worship and philanthropic organizations. After seeing the results of volunteers being placed into certain production roles that enabled them to thrive, I realized I wanted to continue do that work but on a larger scale. I’m excited to be part of the excellent research team at QP and am looking forward to matching insurance professionals with careers that challenge them to grow and succeed. Aside from my career, when I’m not having tea parties with my daughter or changing my twin boys’ diapers, I enjoy writing and recording music, spending time outside, and collecting retro video games.

Julie Jensen

QTemps Researcher

I stumbled into the world of staffing shortly after moving to Dallas, TX in 2009 and haven’t looked back. Questpro is now the longest relationship I have ever been a part of, and they will have to kick me out. I started as a researcher for the permanent placement team in 2013, then tried my hand as a recruiter for the temp staffing team for a couple of years, and have now found my home as a researcher for the QTemps team. I love hunting for resumes and finding hidden gems buried in the job boards. Helping my team find the perfect candidates for our open positions has always been motivating, and it just never gets old.

When I’m not digging for resumes, you can find me hanging out with my husband and our daughter, Riley. Life consists of drinking cold beer, watching the Dallas Stars, listening to live music, eating tacos and walking around our amazing neighborhood of Bishop Arts.
