Why do recruiters and headhunters need insurance?
Your work affects individual careers and broader business outcomes, so the stakes are high. In the event of a lawsuit, insurance will help a recruitment agency pay for the cost of hiring a lawyer, a court-ordered judgment, or a settlement. It also covers unexpected losses such as a fire, theft, or injury.
