Careers Unlimited Insurance Leadership

Arlette Dumais - Retired

Arlette founded Careers Unlimited in 1985 because she believed that recruiting should be based on human resources principles, not sales. And with two young boys to raise, she needed flexibility in her career. With focused determination and a passion for bridging the gap between employers and employees, Arlette slowly built Careers Unlimited into the insurance recruitment leader it is today.

Her human resources experience spans three decades and began at Diversified Financial Corp., where she was 2nd Vice President and edited two publications that were distributed nationally.

Born in continental Portugal, Arlette emigrated to the United States with her family in 1960 at the age of eight. Her education began in a one room school house, Escola das Viegas, in a small village north of Lisbon. After moving to the U.S. she quickly became fluent in English and later became an honors student in Rhode Island’s public school system. Before graduating, she was recruited by Gamwell & Ingraham Insurance Agency, which laid the foundation for a lifelong career path in insurance recruitment.

Arlette is passionate about helping insurance firms reach their sales and customer service goals through effective hiring strategies. And she is just as passionate about helping insurance professionals reach their career goals.

Aside from insurance hiring and recruitment, Arlette's great passion is her family. She is the mother of two adult sons (Marc and Rick) and their wives (Cynthia and Nicole) and proud grandmother of three beautiful children, Fatima, Antonio, and Ethan.
