Why it’s smart to have Staffing Agency Professional Liability insurance
A staffing professional sent a woman’s resume to a potential employer. However, the resume was in fact sent to a subsidiary of the candidate’s current employer, leading to ridicule and harassment by her managers. She quit her job and sued the staffing firm for emotional distress and lost wages. Defense costs exceeded $40,000.
