IT staffing firms, tech staffing agencies, and technology recruiting companies may face a variety of insurance exposures. These include cyber threats, professional liability claims, workers’ compensation concerns, and data security risks.
Events such as data breaches, client disputes, or workplace injuries can disrupt business operations and affect financial stability. Insurance coverage aligned with your operations can support risk management and business continuity.
Mason-McBride works with IT staffing firms and consulting businesses to review operational exposures and explore available insurance options through multiple carriers.
Key Insurance Policies for Insurance IT Staffing
Given the inherent risks and complex regulations in the staffing industry, it's crucial for agencies to have a well-structured portfolio. Commonly considered policies include:
Workers Comp Insurance:
For firms placing employees in contract or long-term assignments, workers’ compensation insurance may help provide benefits for work-related injuries or illnesses. Premiums are influenced by payroll, job classifications, and claims history.
General Liability Insurance:
General liability insurance may assist with third-party claims involving bodily injury, property damage, or advertising injury. Depending on policy terms, coverage may include legal defense costs, settlements, or judgments.
Cyber Liability Insurance:
Given their access to client systems and sensitive data, IT staffing firms are exposed to cyber-related incidents. Cyber liability coverage may help address costs associated with data breaches, ransomware, or unintentional data loss, including legal fees, notifications, and limited business interruption expenses.
Professional Liability Insurance:
Staffing firms involved in technical placements may face claims related to service errors or professional negligence. E&O coverage may respond to such claims, subject to the policy’s terms and exclusions.
Employment Practices Liability (EPLI):
EPLI may help with certain employment-related claims, such as allegations of harassment, discrimination, or wrongful termination. This coverage can be relevant for firms involved in recruiting, screening, or onboarding candidates on behalf of clients.
