RECRUITMENT AGENCY INSURANCE

Here are some examples of insurances we offer for recruitment agencies here at Qdos:

For smaller recruitment firms (with a turnover of up to £2.5m per annum) who are responsible for the placement of self-employed, temporary or permanent staff, Qdos have developed a range of insurance products available for online purchase.

• Professional Indemnity– Includes cover for a variety of Cyber Risks including, Data Protection defence cost and hacker damage. It is important to note that our online Professional Indemnity policy does not provide cover for vicarious liability – if you are responsible for errors or omission of the workers you place, please contact a member of our team.
• Liability Insurance– Public Liability and Employers Liability in respect of your in house staff. We are also able to include cover for Drivers’ Negligence to your policy if required.
• Upon request, we can also offer bespoke Personal Accident Insurance, Directors and Officers Liability, and designated Cyber Insurance.

We also offer cover for larger agencies, umbrella companies, CIS, and more complex risks:

This isn’t a case of one size fits all. If your organisation is considered a larger firm and/or has more complicated insurance requirements, then the standard forms of cover we offer online might not be suitable for you.

Here at Qdos, we are able to put in place a form of cover that works for your organisation, this includes:

• Umbrella companies
• Firms providing self-employed CIS workers
• Recruitment agencies with a turnover in excess of £2.5m
• Any recruitment companies that accept vicarious liability for the actions of the workers they place

Why a scheme might be beneficial for your organisation

In many cases, businesses who facilitate contracts for PSCs or other self-employed workers are required to ensure that workers carry the necessary insurance.  While this requirement may be passed on to the individual worker to make the necessary arrangements, other firms will seek to arrange schemes for their workers.  Qdos are a recognised provider of insurance schemes to agencies, accountants, affinity groups and general recruitment firms.

Scheme provisions come with a number of benefits.  By arranging cover for their contractors, a firm can enhance the service they offer, and ensure that all workers have adequate cover.  In addition, where workers are referred to a scheme in volume, discounting and commission earning become possible.
