GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (USA)— NPAworldwide, the world’s leading recruitment community, today announced a strategic partnership with the Sanford Rose Associates family of companies, including Dimensional Search Associates. This partnership brings together two strong organizations with complementary strengths and a shared commitment to helping independent recruiting firms succeed.
For NPAworldwide, the agreement represents a meaningful extension of its mission to connect independent recruiting firms for success locally and worldwide. Dimensional Search Associates firms are an excellent membership match for NPAworldwide, strengthening the recruitment community it has built since 1956.
For Dimensional Search affiliates, the benefits are equally compelling. Through their affiliation with NPAworldwide’s global recruitment community, they gain access to split placement revenue opportunities they would not otherwise have, alongside a network of like-minded firm owners who are invested in each other’s success.
“We are excited about the opportunities this alliance creates and the value it will bring to our members. By combining the strengths of Sanford Rose Associates/ Dimensional Search, and NPAworldwide, we are building a stronger, more connected recruiting community where collaboration, shared expertise, and new business opportunities help every member achieve greater success. We look forward to growing together and celebrating the many partnerships and accomplishments that lie ahead,” said Patti Steen, NPAworldwide board chair and interim president.
The partnership reflects a shared belief that collaboration, not competition, drives better outcomes for recruitment firm owners, their clients, and the candidates they serve. Both organizations are committed to supporting independent firms at every stage of their growth, from launch through scale.
Further details on the partnership and how recruiting firm owners can take advantage of its benefits will be available through both organizations’ respective channels.
