Insurance for Recruitment Agencies

Through Kingsbridge Recruitment Insurance, our sister company, we can provide recruitment agency insurance and umbrella insurance to protect businesses against the specific risks they face.

What is recruitment agency insurance?

Recruitment agencies face unique risks. You’re responsible to both clients (the companies you supply staff to) and the candidates you place. This inherent risk necessitates specialist insurance coverage.

Why is it important?

Recruitment insurance provides a vital safety net, shielding your agency from costly legal battles and potential financial ruin.

Professional indemnity cover is perhaps the most important cover for recruitment agencies. When sourcing and vetting candidates, mistakes could be made.

These are professional risks where professional indemnity can respond.
