Staffing & Recruiting Agency Agreement Redline Auditor (Backdoor Hires & Conversion Fees)

Whether you are a recruiting firm protecting your placement fees from "backdoor hires" (where a client rejects your candidate on Monday and hires them via a subsidiary 4 months later) or an employer making sure you only pay a refund-backed fee and aren’t hit with vicarious liability for a temp worker, standard staffing MSAs are heavily lopsided.

Property Owner & Tenant Hit With $285,000 Uninsured ADA & Sprinkler Code Rebuild After Partial Fire

What Went Wrong (Unredlined Draft)

After a kitchen fire damaged 52% of a commercial building, city inspectors enforced the 50% rule—requiring demolition of the undamaged half and full ADA/sprinkler upgrades. Because the policy lacked ISO CP 04 05 Ordinance or Law (Coverages A, B & C) and had a $10,000 sub-limit, $285,000 fell out-of-pocket.

How EndorseIQ™ Prevents It Automatically

EndorseIQ™ mandates ISO CP 04 05 Coverage A at full building limits, $500,000 combined for Coverages B & C, and aligns Lease COI & Good-Guy casualty termination rights.

What to Say to the GL Carrier & Upstream GC / Owner Requirements

"Standard industry candidate ownership is 12 months across any role or affiliate, and our 60-day guarantee provides a replacement search credit for voluntary resignations or termination for cause—provided the invoice was paid on time and it isn’t a layoff."

Why they drafted it this way: Enterprise HR procurement teams try to shrink candidate ownership windows to 90 days and demand 6-month cash refunds even when the client lays off the new hire.

Mandatory Audit Checklist Points

12-month Candidate Introduction Ownership window across all Client roles, 1099 engagements, and Affiliates
Replacement search credit (not cash refund) conditioned on timely invoice payment and excluding Client layoffs
Clear allocation of workplace supervision & professional liability for temporary/contract staff

COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY (CGL) CONSTRUCTION BINDER & ENDORSEMENT SCHEDULE

THIS COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY BINDER ("Policy") is issued by VANGUARD SPECIALTY E&S INSURANCE CO. ("Carrier") to APEX BUILDERS & MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS INC. ("Named Insured") with limits of $1,000,000 Each Occurrence / $2,000,000 General Aggregate / $2,000,000 Products-Completed Operations Aggregate.

SECTION 1. ENDORSEMENT CG 21 39 — CONTRACTUAL LIABILITY LIMITATION (DELETION OF INSURED CONTRACT).
This Policy is modified by ISO Endorsement CG 21 39. The definition of "Insured Contract" in Section V (Definitions) of Commercial General Liability Coverage Form CG 00 01 is amended by deleting Paragraph f. in its entirety. Consequently, this Policy provides ZERO coverage for any tort liability assumed by Named Insured in any construction subcontract, Master Services Agreement (MSA), AIA contract, or hold-harmless indemnity agreement with an Owner or General Contractor.

SECTION 2. ENDORSEMENT CG 22 94 — EXCLUSION: DAMAGE TO WORK PERFORMED BY SUBCONTRACTORS ON YOUR BEHALF.
This Policy is modified by ISO Endorsement CG 22 94. Exclusion l. (Damage to Your Work) of Section I — Coverage A (Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability) is replaced to delete the subcontractor exception. This insurance does not apply to "Property Damage" to "your work" arising out of it or any part of it and included in the "products-completed operations hazard," even if the damaged work or the work out of which the damage arises was performed on your behalf by a subcontractor.

SECTION 3. ADDITIONAL INSURED SCHEDULE — ONGOING OPERATIONS ONLY (OMISSION OF CG 20 37 COMPLETED OPERATIONS).
Blanket Additional Insured coverage for upstream General Contractors and Project Owners is provided exclusively under Endorsement CG 20 10 (Ongoing Operations). Coverage for Additional Insureds terminates the moment Named Insured's active operations at the jobsite cease. Endorsement CG 20 37 (Additional Insured — Owners, Lessees or Contractors — Completed Operations) is NOT attached, leaving Named Insured in breach of all post-completion subcontract insurance requirements.

SECTION 4. MANUSCRIPT ACTION-OVER / EMPLOYEE BODILY INJURY & LABOR LAW EXCLUSION (ENDT. GL-904).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the "Employer's Liability" exclusion, this Policy does not apply to any claim, suit, contractual indemnity demand, or third-party "Action-Over" impleader brought by an Owner, General Contractor, or third party seeking contribution or indemnification for "Bodily Injury" to any employee, leased worker, temporary worker, or employee of any subcontractor of Named Insured (including any claim arising under New York Labor Law §§ 200, 240, or 241).

SECTION 5. MANUSCRIPT RESIDENTIAL, MULTI-FAMILY, MIXED-USE CONVERSION & SUBSIDENCE EXCLUSION (ENDT. GL-918).
This insurance does not apply to any "bodily injury," "property damage," or defense expense arising out of construction, remodeling, repair, or subcontracting work on any tract housing, condominium, townhouse, apartment building, dormitory, or mixed-use building containing residential units, or any structure converted to residential use at any time. Furthermore, all claims arising out of earth movement, soil settlement, underpinning, shoring, or subsidence are excluded in their entirety.

Optional — Deal Context or Special Concerns (e.g., "5-year retail lease in Texas" or "$40k fixed-fee dev build")

Marketing Agency & Media Buying Agreement Redline Auditor (Sequential Liability & Ad Spend)

If a marketing agency runs Meta, Google, or programmatic media ads using an agency credit line or platform IO without a "Sequential Liability" clause, the ad network can sue the agency for $100,000+ in ad spend when the client’s credit card fails or the client files bankruptcy. Worse, client contracts often make the agency liable if a client’s product claim triggers an FTC investigation or trademark lawsuit.
