Building your recruitment consultants’ insurance policy

Recruitment consultants may require a range of different covers. These core types of insurance should help you get started:

Professional indemnity insurance is vital for recruitment agents. If your advice is faulty, you are likely to be held liable for any resulting damage to your client’s business. And if an incident happens, it could be your own recruitment business that suffers. It is vital that you are well-insured to protect yourself financially.

Public liability insurance covers the cost of claims made against you by members of the public, including clients and candidates, who are injured or whose property is damaged because of your business. We offer cover of between £1m and £10m.

Business premises insurance is important if you have your own office. Simply Business offers an optional range of business premises covers, including buildings cover, business contents, and fixtures and fittings.

Details to look out for

• Where possible, try to ask potential clients what level of professional indemnity insurance they would expect, and buy your policy accordingly.
• Make sure you understand any exclusions on your policy. Simply Business offers you the chance to read the policy documents in full before you buy.
• Remember that you are legally obliged to take out employers’ liability insurance if you employ anyone. Failure to do so could result in a fine of up to £2,500 for every day you are uninsured.
