Business insurance

Insurance for Recruitment Agencies

A recruiter's exposure sits in the advice you give and the people you place. Professional indemnity covers claims over a bad placement, negligent screening, or a candidate who turns out not to be as represented — and at around $2,500 a year, it reflects the real liability of vouching for people. Add public liability, management liability, and cyber cover because you hold large volumes of candidate personal data. If you place temps you control, workers' compensation and on-hire arrangements matter too. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your PI limits before the new financial year.

Common questions

Recruitment Agencies — insurance questions

Why is professional indemnity central for recruiters?

Because clients hire on your recommendation. If a placement goes wrong, screening was inadequate, or a candidate misrepresents qualifications you vouched for, a client can claim against you. PI cover responds to those professional-negligence claims.

Do I need cyber cover for candidate data?

Yes. Agencies hold huge volumes of resumes, IDs and personal details, which makes you a target. Cyber cover helps with breach response, notification and liability if that data is exposed or your systems are compromised.
