Recruitment is a fast-paced industry where even small mistakes can have bigger consequences. Recruitment Insurance is designed to protect companies that offer recruitment services from the risks that come with placing candidates, advising clients and managing sensitive information.

If you’re a recruitment consultancy, employment agency, temporary staffing firm or executive search specialist then Recruitment Insurance can help to safeguard your business if something goes wrong, whether you place permanent staff, contractors or temporary workers. 

Recruitment Insurance can help protect a business against the main professional risks such as the four mentioned below:

1. Professional Liability is one of the main risks to recruiters, as a client may claim financial loss due to an unsuitable placement, incorrect vetting or an administrative error. That’s why Recruitment Insurance typically includes Professional Indemnity Cover, which protects against claims arising from negligence, errors or omissions in the services you provide.

2. Employers Liability is another important element included in Recruitment Insurance to help cover claims from any employees who suffer illness or injury as a result of their work. 

3. Public Liability can help protect a business if a third party is injured or their property is damaged in connection with a company’s activities.

4. Cyber Insurance is key because recruitment agencies often handle large volumes of personal data, making cyber risk an increasing concern. Recruitment Insurance policies can include cyber cover, to provide protection against data breaches, cyberattacks and any associated legal or recovery costs.

Additional cover may be important depending on your business, such as Fidelity Insurance to protect against employee dishonesty or Legal Expenses Insurance for contract disputes.
