Thrivent plans to hire 600 financial advisors in 2026, bucking AI layoff trend

Thrivent, a Minneapolis-based financial services company ranked 388 on the Fortune 500, plans to hire 600 financial advisors in 2026, matching its 2025 target. The initiative addresses a looming talent shortage as over 100,000 US financial advisors are expected to retire within the next decade. The company recruits through its traditional field network and a Virtual Advice Team, where advisors serve clients remotely. Participants typically spend 12 to 24 months in training before joining established teams or launching their own practices. The programme attracts early-career professionals and second-career candidates from fields like teaching and business. Thrivent, which manages $212 billion in assets and serves 2.4 million clients, is using AI to support rather than replace advisors, focusing on tools that enable high-value client work.
