:IT staffing firms, tech staffing agencies, and technology recruiting companies may encounter a range of insurance exposures. These can include cyber threats, professional liability, workers’ compensation claims, and data security concerns.
Events such as data breaches, client disputes, or workplace injuries can interrupt business operations and affect financial stability. Insurance strategies tailored to your business model can support risk management and continuity planning.
At Mason-McBride, we work with IT staffing firms, technology recruiting agencies, and tech consulting businesses to explore insurance options that address the operational risks associated with placing technical professionals.
Types of Insurance Coverage for IT Staffing Agencies
We assist firms of various sizes in reviewing insurance coverages that align with their structure and risk profile. Below are examples of coverage lines often considered:
Workers Compensation Insurance:
For firms placing employees in contract or long-term roles, workers’ compensation insurance may provide benefits in the event of work-related injuries or illnesses. Premiums are typically influenced by factors such as payroll size, job classifications, and claims history.
General Liability Insurance:
General liability insurance is designed to address third-party claims involving bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury. This coverage may help with defense costs, settlements, or judgments, depending on the policy terms.
Cyber Liability Insurance:
Given the access to client systems and sensitive data, IT staffing firms can be exposed to cyber-related incidents. Cyber liability insurance may assist with costs associated with data breaches, ransomware, or accidental data loss, such as legal expenses, required notifications, and certain types of business interruption.
Professional Liability Insurance:
Staffing firms involved in technical placements may be subject to claims of professional negligence or errors in services. Professional liability insurance is intended to respond to such claims, subject to the terms and exclusions of the policy.
Employment Practices Liability (EPLI):
Employment Practices Liability Insurance may offer protection against employment-related claims such as wrongful termination, harassment, or discrimination. This coverage may be relevant for agencies involved in recruiting, onboarding, or placing candidates across client organizations.
