Why recruitment agencies should choose Qdos

Choosing the right insurance provider is an important decision for any recruitment agency. 

 

It’s not just about buying a policy - it’s about working with a partner who understands your business, your risks, and the wider market you operate in.

 

That’s where Qdos’s consultative approach stands out.

 

 

A consultative approach that goes further

At Qdos, we take a consultative approach to helping recruitment agencies understand the risks they face and make informed decisions about their insurance.

 

Rather than simply placing a policy, we can: 

 
  • Review contract terms to highlight potential exposures

 

  • Support conversations with suppliers where insurance coverage needs to be negotiated

 

  • Assist in identifying insurance requirements that may be impacted by non-UK contracts

 

  • Assist with document control and risk mitigation strategies to minimise exposures and help keep premiums low
 

Many agencies we speak to haven’t reviewed their insurance arrangements in detail for several years. While a detailed review of your policies may not be warranted every year, some providers will allow policies to roll on over several renewals without scrutinising coverage or pricing. 

 

That’s where we’re different.

 

We take the time to review documentation, assess your risk, and make sure your insurance reflects the way your business operates today - not how it looked years ago.

 

 

Why you can have faith in Qdos’ products

Qdos’ offer is also based on years of experience within the market and strengthened by our position as part of one of the world’s leading specialty insurers.

 

 

Specialists in the recruitment and contractor market

Qdos is not a generalist provider. Instead, we specialise in business insurance and compliance support for contractors, freelancers, and the agencies that work with them. 

 

With over 25 years’ experience supporting the UK contingent labour market, we understand the challenges recruitment agencies face, from managing contractor risk to navigating regulatory change.

 

That long-standing experience means we understand not just your insurance needs, but the wider recruitment landscape too.

 

 

Backed by a global insurer

Qdos is part of Tokio Marine HCC, meaning our clients can be confident that their cover is backed by a leading insurer with excellent financial ratings. 

 

It also means we can offer competitive premiums and dependable protection, without compromising on quality or service.
