The NPA Story
NPA provides members with placement opportunities they would not otherwise realize on their own.
NPA is a global network of professional recruiters working together to facilitate split-fee placements. The network enables members to better serve their clients through extended geographic reach, greater access to industry specialization, and improved operating efficiencies. In the process, NPA members benefit from increased profitability and a stronger competitive position. NPA is governed by a board of directors consisting of elected NPA members and supported by a professional staff headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan (USA).
- Founded in 1956. Originally established as National Personnel Associates, NPA has been a leader in split-fee placements for more than half a century.
- Member-owned network. Every NPA member firm is a part owner of the network, giving each a proprietary interest in the long-term success of NPA.
- Highest ethical standards. NPA holds members to high professional standards that foster trust and cooperation between trading partners.
- Incremental revenue. NPA creates income-generating placement opportunities that members would not otherwise realize on their own.
- Global reach. There are NPA members on six continents, creating a worldwide recruiting network for members.
