Top Hat Recruiting is a boutique talent firm built by insurance people, for insurance people. We know the industry because we've lived it — starting with our founder Tony Cañas, who began his career in insurance, quickly fell in love with it, and never looked back. With more letters after his name than most underwriting manuals and a passion for developing people, Tony literally wrote the book on attracting and retaining millennial talent in insurance and now hosts one of the industry's leading podcasts, Profiles in Risk.
Through recruiting, consulting, speaking, and even a bit of magic, we help insurance and insurtech organizations rethink how they hire and grow. We don’t just fill roles — we build momentum. Our people-first approach blends deep industry knowledge with creative strategy and just enough flair to keep things interesting.
At Top Hat, we believe hiring should feel exciting, not exhausting. Smart, not stuffy. And maybe even a little magical.
Tony Cañas fell in love with insurance and decided to make it fun again. A recruiter, author, speaker, magician, and podcast host, Tony brings serious industry chops (plus the alphabet soup of designations to prove it) and just enough flair to make hiring feel like a high-impact act.
