Questpro

What Questpro does

Questpro Consultants LLC is a Dallas, Texas-based professional services firm founded in 1996 that specializes in staffing and recruiting for the insurance and risk management industries. The company operates four branded divisions, QDirect (contingency and retained direct-hire search), QTemps (temporary, temp-to-hire, CAT staffing, and payroll services), QGrads (college recruiting connecting employers with entry-level RMI talent), and QExecs (contract executive placement), collectively covering the full talent lifecycle from internships through senior interim leadership. Its underlying technology consists of a proprietary candidate database of more than 500,000 professionals and a network of 6,000+ employers, with operational tooling delivered through third-party platforms including Loxo for the candidate portal and Bullhorn for timesheets.

Questpro serves insurance carriers, third-party administrators, brokers, and agencies, with named enterprise customers including Chubb, State National, Davies, Trexis Insurance, and CINDE/Natural. Revenue is generated through professional-services placement fees on permanent hires, margin spread on temporary staffing bill rates, and contract fees for executive placements, with pricing provided on a quote basis tied to engagement scope and search type. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by inbound hiring inquiries through the website and a referral-based partnership model. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external funding, and is led by founder Kevin Burch as President and CEO. Recent operating signals include consecutive Best Places to Work recognition (Business Insurance Magazine 2023 and 2024; Dallas Business Journal 2023 and 2024), indicating sustained investment in employer brand and retention rather than rapid scaling.
