What does recruitment insurance cover?
Recruitment insurance protects you and your business from the risks associated with sourcing, fielding, and placing temporary or permanent workers for other businesses.

Vicarious insurance covers your negligence as a recruitment agency or consultant, as well as the negligence of the staff you place.
