Staffing & PEO Firms

Coverage built for the dual-employer exposure that staffing agencies and professional employer organizations carry.

Staffing firms and PEOs sit between the worker and the worksite, which doubles their exposure: they answer for the placements they make and for the employees they put on someone else's floor. Programs blend workers' compensation, professional liability, and employment practices to match that structure.

Because the staffing firm is usually the employer of record, it owns the comp exposure for workers spread across many client sites and job classes. Rating and audit are more complex than for a single-location employer, so the program has to be built for it. Both the staffing firm and the client can be treated as employers of the same worker, which can pull both into a claim; EPL and professional liability tuned for staffing address that overlap.

How we use AI

AI helps our insurance team work faster. Our specialists still own every call.

For operators in Staffing & PEO Firms, AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and reuse what you have already submitted, so we spend our time on the judgment calls that matter. A licensed specialist reviews every filing. Your data stays on Cornerstone infrastructure, not in a public chatbot.

  • On Our Infrastructure

    Our models run on Cornerstone servers, not public chatbots. Your business information is not sent to a third-party LLM or used to train anyone else's product.

  • An Assistant, Not an Operator

    AI helps our insurance team start their research in the right place and surface the resources to look at. Specialists vet what comes back and make the call.

  • Less Duplicate Work for You

    Atlas figures out what data each form needs, then reuses what you have already given us so the same question does not come around twice. That is how approvals come faster.
