Recruitment insurance FAQs
Why does an IT recruitment company need E&O insurance?
Clients may allege negligent screening, inaccurate candidate information, breach of confidentiality or failure to provide services as agreed. An eligible policy may cover defence costs and damages subject to the wording.
Does E&O cover temporary workers?
Not automatically. Coverage depends on the definition of professional services, contractual liability and whether the insurer agrees to cover acts of supplied workers. Disclose temporary placements clearly.
Why is cyber insurance relevant?
Recruiters hold resumes, contact details, compensation information and other candidate and client data. Dedicated cyber coverage may help with incident response, restoration, interruption and privacy liability.
