We follow strict ethical guidelines in our executive search practice. Our policy meets and exceeds the National Association of Personnel Consultants Standards of Ethical Practices. Our reputation and integrity are both key differentiators and the source of future business. We guard them both ardently.

  • Applicants shall be referred to employers for interviews only on job openings for which at least verbal authority has been given by both the employer and the candidate

  • Representations made to applicants about the duties, probable length of the employment, hours and salary of prospective positions shall be in conformance with the best knowledge of the personnel consultant.

  • Precaution shall be taken against referring any applicant to employers who are known to engage in illegal, immoral, or any questionable business practices.

  • Information about an applicant will be used only for the purpose of finding employment for that applicant. Confidential information shall be treated accordingly.
