What is recruitment agency insurance?

Recruitment agency insurance is cover designed specifically for the unique challenges faced by recruitment and staffing companies. Whether you’re placing highly qualified professionals in the legal or financial professions, domestic or care staff, security teams, office personnel or tradespeople, your business’s reputation is on the line. Recruitment insurance can help protect you against the financial cost of compensation claims and legal fees should things go wrong.


Why do you need recruitment agency insurance?

You might think that a recruitment agency doesn’t need too much in the way of insurance. However, apart from the legal requirement of Employer’s Liability cover, there are plenty of scenarios when not having insurance could cost you money, your reputation, or even your business. For example, if a temporary worker supplied by you causes property damage, the owner could hold you responsible for providing the worker in the first place. Accusations of failure to carry out checks on agency staff could damage your reputation. At the same time, a slip or fall in your office could end up with a personal injury claim for compensation levelled at your agency. Recruitment agency insurance is there to protect you financially.

FAQs

How much does recruitment agency insurance cost?

How much you pay for your recruitment agency insurance cover will depend on your needs, your budget, and your business model. Because we don’t supply a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, we can tailor your insurance policy to suit your exact needs, whether you're a sole trader, have a team working with you, or are a larger recruitment agency with branches nationwide.

As preferred brokers, we can source insurance for staffing companies from the UK’s top insurance providers. That means more choice for you, better deals, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have the right kind of policy in place. Without insurance, you could end up paying thousands if a compensation claim is made against you. The question really is, how much could it cost you if you don't have the right cover?

Do I need employer's liability insurance if I place temporary staff?

Yes. UK law requires you to have employers’ liability insurance of at least £5million if you employ staff, including temporary workers under your supervision or control. Temporary staff are regarded as employed - not by the company they are assigned to, but by the agency. That makes you their employer, and therefore, you have to have employer's liability cover.

Can I adjust my coverage in the future?

Absolutely. Businesses are changing all the time, so if your company starts to grow quickly, or you expand into a new area, you can add to your recruitment agency insurance package as you need.
