Software Guidance & Assistance, Inc., (SGA), is searching for a Research Analyst for a Contract assignment with one of our premier Insurance Services clients in a Remote role.

Global Executive Talent Acquisition (GETA) Research Analysts contribute significantly to the success of research deliverables (i.e. candidate identification, competitive profiles, labor market trends) through their participation in the research and analysis of the designated talent channels that impact the successful selection and timely placement of pivotal positions.
