Recruitment Consultant Insurance
What Is Recruitment Consultant Insurance?
From attracting candidates and helping them to find their dream roles through to building strong relationships with companies and creating job adverts to help draw in their ideal team members, there’s a lot of responsibility that comes with being a recruitment consultant, not to mention all the CVs you have to sift through. Your staff expertise may be highly sought-after, but compensation may also be sought should you be held liable for the actions of staff you place, or the businesses in which you place them. You may not realise this, but recruitment companies often have a lot to answer for, and this can be costly and reputation-damaging. That’s where The Insurance Octopus comes in. Sourcing cover from Professional Indemnity insurance and Employers Liability through to Cyber Insurance and the associated legal costs, we can source and create bespoke policies that truly protect your operations and give you peace of mind that the unexpected is accounted for. Not only are we a Feefo Platinum awarded company, but our fantastic client testimonials speak for themselves. And if that isn’t enough, all of our Recruitment Consultant insurance quotes come with flexible payment options, access to leading insurance experts and an easy claims process, should this be required.

Access a range a covers designed for recruitment professionals
As a professional recruitment consultant your clients will be expecting a professional, sound and expert service to help them to find the right candidate for the job. Making recommendations for businesses who will then rely on your advice makes you liable if someone deems that advice to be bad. Having a comprehensive Recruitment Consultant insurance policy in place will protect you should a client decide to make a claim against you should they believe any advice or recommendations you give to be negligent and cause them damage in any way.

How Recruitment Consultants insurance works
Examples of Recruitment consultant insurance in action
An expensive forgery
A recruitment consultant faced a potentially damaging situation when it turned out that a recruit that she had placed with a major client had used fake qualifications and references to obtain work. Even worse, the standard checks and procedures she had in place to identify such an occurrence had not worked, leaving the client even unhappier. In the resulting legal action, she was able to rely on her Professional Indemnity insurance to cover the significant costs that she faced.
