Staffing Firms

Nuts & Bolts:
Victor O. Schinnerer and Company launched SpecialtyOne, an errors and omissions insurance program for management consultants and staffing firms. Target risks for the program include a range of consultants such as management, marketing, human resource, public relations and market research firms, as well as staffing firms like employment agencies, temporary staffing and executive recruiting. The duty-to-defend policy also features defense coverage against allegations of criminal, dishonest, fraudulent or malicious errors and omissions, and an innocent insured provision. Claims are handled by a third-party administrator specializing in professional liability claims. Schinnerer works with independent agents, brokers and wholesalers. No special licensing is necessary.
