Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Career Consultants


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As a career consultant, having insurance is crucial to protect you when advising clients. Our public liability insurance protects you against claims if a client is injured or their property is damaged while you work. For example, you could be liable if a client trips over your briefcase during a consultation.

What is Career Consultancy Insurance?

Career consultancy insurance protects professionals who guide individuals and organisations on recruitment, job seeking, resume writing, interview coaching, personal branding and related services. However, flawed advice can negatively impact clients’ job prospects and salaries.

Without adequate insurance, just one error leading to the loss of a lucrative job offer or reduced earnings could leave you facing substantial pay-outs. Our tailored policies give you complete peace of mind that your insurer will handle any injury, damage or financial loss claims caused by your services.

Why Career Consultants Need Liability Insurance:

Clients rely on your expertise as a career consultant to further their careers, increase salaries and secure ideal jobs. But accidents can happen – a typo on a client’s resume you created could lead them to miss out on an interview. Or a flawed personal brand you developed causes rejection from multiple employers.

Our specialist insurance covers any claims arising from your consultancy activities that negatively impact a client’s employment status or income. This includes claims due to service delays, breaches of confidential personal information, allegations of inadequate or misleading advice and more.

What Our Career Consultancy Insurance Covers:

At Professional Saver, our multi-layered career consultancy insurance provides vital protection, including:

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability coverage protects against any injury or property damage caused to clients during in-person consultations on your premises. For example, we would cover legal costs and compensation if a client tripped over improperly secured wiring at your office, leading to hospitalisation.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

This optional cover safeguards your consultancy if your clients claim your provided career guidance, interview coaching or CV optimisation services have directly resulted in financial harm through lost job opportunities, reduced salaries or dismissal. For example, you overlooked crucial issues while conducting background checks and your client’s job offers get revoked.

Legal Expenses Insurance

We fund legal costs defending against civil claims disputing your professional competence or alleging negligence in your career consultancy services. This provides access to specialist legal advice that helps dispute liability for damages like lost income from services.

We offer varying levels of coverage based on your specific needs, so fill out our simple online form to get your quote today!

FAQs

Career Consultancy Insurance FAQs

Career guidance professionals are vulnerable to negligence claims because clients rely on their strategic advice to progress in their careers, increase salaries or secure job opportunities.

Any oversight leading to demonstrably reduced prospects could lead to substantial pay-outs without adequate insurance. Our tailored policies cover resulting financial loss claims from poor counsel impacting earning potential.

Some examples of client financial loss our specialist insurance bundles would cover include:

  • Incorrect mock interview advice or inadequate preparation that causes a client to lose out on a job offer.
  • A flawed personal branding strategy and online profile presence that leads to multiple job applications being rejected.
  • Inaccurate long-term career guidance leading to a significantly lower-paid industry position being reluctantly accepted.
  • A data protection breach of confidential candidate details, employment history documents or assessment results during third-party recruitment consulting assignments.

Our comprehensive protection is designed for all common advisory services from strategic planning through to hands-on application support, including:

  • One-on-one career action planning sessions
  • Tailored resume and CV writing aligned with career histories
  • Professional LinkedIn profile optimisation
  • Interview preparation consultancy with mock practice questions
  • Personal branding and elevator pitch strategy development
  • Psychometric testing analysis and profiling insights
  • Full recruitment process outsourcing for clients
  • Executive appointment facilitation through discreet candidate headhunting
