NPA is a global network of independent recruiting firms working together to make split fee placements. The network enables members to provide their clients and candidates with better service and increased opportunities. All of these network advantages have proven to be true in 2012 as NPA members made over 800 splits.
The beginning of January brings new business ideas and resolutions for the year ahead. But we can’t forget to close out the year that’s passed. This is very important to see what changes need to be made and so that business can be evaluated accordingly for what lies ahead. With that, here are some of NPA’s 2012 split fee placement statistics.
- Placements of positions with US$80,000 and above salaries were 56% of total split fee placements
- Placements of positions with US$100,000 and above salaries were 33% of total split fee placements
Top 5 Trading Groups based on the number of split fee placements, listed highest to lowest:

- Chemical Process
- Sales/Marketing/Business Development
- Information Technology
In 2012 there was over 7.5 million dollars of shared revenue among the more than 400 member firms. NPA also saw increased productivity throughout North America and Australia with continued growth throughout the rest of the world.
The NPA Job Board has also proven to be a key tool for NPA members as its first full year it brought in just under $250,000 in revenue.
Overall, 2012 was a good year for members in NPA as end of year totals have been steadily growing over the past couple years. This leaves me feeling optimistic that the employment market may be becoming less volatile.
