Our Ethics

As members of the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS), we must adhere to the following ethical practices:

  1. A candidate's employment record, education, qualification and salary requirements shall be stated to the employer/client as accurately and fully as possible. Clients shall be advised by the recruiter if the recruiter disclaims liability for the accuracy of any information it transmits to the client.
  2. A candidate shall be referred to the employer/client for interview only with prior authorization of the employer/client, which may be given verbally.
  3. Confidential information relating to the business policy of employer/clients, which is imparted as an aid to the effective handling of their job requirements, shall be treated accordingly.
  4. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, a recruiter shall not attempt to recruit candidates for placement who are still employed by the company with whom they have been placed by the recruiter's firm, unless the candidates directly request the recruiter's assistance in seeking new employment.
  5. Direct mail, bulletins and resumes of candidates presented to employer/clients shall represent bonafide candidates.
  6. In the absence of an agreement to the contrary, a recruiter shall not attempt to recruit for placement candidates employed by a client company within one year of the most recent placement with that client company at the same location, unless the candidates directly request the recruiters assistance in seeking new employment.
