Recruitment of High-Performing Talent
For Our Workforce
MetLife invests in innovative, experiential programs aligned with our employee value proposition, #AllTogetherPossible, to attract high‑performing talent and support meaningful, long‑term careers. Together with our culture, development opportunities and benefits, these initiatives strengthen MetLife’s reputation as an employer of choice.
Current and prospective employees can showcase their skills and explore career opportunities through our global talent platform. Used across all MetLife markets, the platform helps us connect people to roles where they can grow, contribute and make an impact in line with our purpose and New Frontier strategy.
By strengthening how we attract, develop and retain talent—from early career through executive roles—we’re able to offer more fulfilling careers while building the capabilities MetLife needs for the future.
MetLife manages robust internship and early-in-career development programs across several businesses, geographies and focus areas. Among others, we offer opportunities for rising juniors and seniors at the undergraduate level to experience roles such as actuarial, audit, investments, employee group benefits, legal and technology. MetLife Investment Management (MIM) also hosts a high-impact internship program, as well as a two-year analyst program, both of which are designed to launch the next generation of top investors.
In Asia, innovative recruitment is highlighted by our Hack4Job hackathons, which challenge job seekers to solve real-world business problems and enable hiring managers to observe candidates in action.
Compensation
Our compensation practices contribute to employees' financial wellness while helping us unlock top performance. Total compensation at MetLife may include three primary components: base salary and annual and long-term incentives. We have a pay-for-performance philosophy, which means there is a direct link between an employee’s compensation, their performance and MetLife’s performance. We regularly review employees’ pay and our pay practices to attract, motivate, engage and retain top talent, and we focus on providing equal pay for equal work. See MetLife’s Pay Equity Statement.
