As a headhunter or recruiter, you work at the interface between companies and applicants—in an environment characterized by trust, confidentiality, and high expectations. Even a small mistake in communication or an incorrect assessment can result in financial claims—for example, if a candidate you place does not meet the requirements or contract data is passed on incorrectly.

Even though there is no legal obligation for headhunters to have Professional Indemnity Insurance, it is strongly recommended. exali's Professional Indemnity Insurance makes your business crisis-proof and protects you when it matters most.

Testimonials for exali.com

 
 
Being able to rely on your insurance in case of damages is truly wonderful. My experience in this area had not been all that good to this point.
But exali showed me that not all insurance companies are like that. I will definitely recommend this insurance product to others.

Excellent service! I insured an SaaS IT online start-up. At Exali, no expense or effort is spared when it comes to advising even small IT companies and start-ups so comprehensively that - even for critical types like myself - they really don’t let any question go unanswered. It didn't matter that I was just a prospective client and not yet a paying customer.
I had a consultation with the exali customer care expters, they spent almost an hour patiently and very competently dispelling all my concerns that a non-lawyer might have after reading through the extensive contract documents. My impression: for me as a start-up, the service you get with the Professional Indemnity Insurance for Digital Professions doesn’t compare, and I’ve rarely been looked after so well.

After a long search for insurance for my work as a virtual assistant, I came across exali. The consultation was very detailed. I was given excellent advice on my premium rate as well as honest information about what I did and did not need. It really impressed me. Whenever I have questions, I always get good advice quickly. The damage claim was processed quickly and easily. I am very satisfied and would recommend exali to everyone.

Many call themselves insurance brokers, but don’t act like it! That’s exactly what I want to highlight about exali. Compared to the standard coverage offered by German insurers, there’s really no need to think twice when it comes to scope of coverage and premiums, based on my experience so far. I haven’t had a claim during this time, but I’m confident that the claims process would be just as fair and straightforward.
 
exali offers a clear and very affordable service package, an easy and self-explanatory online process, and in special cases, there’s always a competent employee who takes care of things just in time.

„There are not many companies that you can trust without hesitation. Exali is different. Even before signing the contract and afterwards, there is complete transparency and the agreement is tailored to individual needs until you are satisfied. This is crucial, especially if you work in legally sensitive areas.

Since becoming a customer, I have been recommending Exali to my friends and acquaintances with complete conviction, not least because of the excellent advice provided by Ms. Sandra Löhning and the uncomplicated claims settlement process."

Claims involving Headhunters and Recruiters

Headhunter Risks
  • Data breach
    You accidentally send an email with applicant data to the wrong email address.

These typical types of damage can spell disaster for you as a martial arts instructor or self-defense trainer:

  • Financial losses
    You are tasked with finding a new CFO for a corporation. You refer a seemingly suitable candidate. Unfortunately, it later transpires that the candidate was convicted of a financial crime several years ago and therefore has a criminal record. Because you did not conduct thorough enough research and the position now has to be filled again, the corporation is demanding compensation.
  • Property damage
    During a meeting with your customer, you accidentally knock their laptop off the table and it breaks.
  • Personal injury
    A client you want to refer visits you at your office. While going to the restroom, they slip on the freshly mopped floor and injure themselves.
