NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network with global headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA originally entered into a strategic alliance with TEAM – The Employment Agency Movement, based in the UK in late 2009. Both organizations are engaged in the business of facilitating networking between their member firms offering independent recruiting, executive search and temporary staffing. The alliance has been formed to increase global recruiting opportunities for the cumulative membership. Clients and candidates represented by these two networks have benefited from the worldwide connections and boundary-breaking reach available from the combined networks of NPA and TEAM.
As a result of recent negotiations between the two organizations, arrangements have been agreed to permitting all NPA members a joint membership in TEAM on trial basis. “Whilst our UK membership and regional networking continues to grow” comments Liz Longman, TEAM MD, “there have been many instances where the skills of our members UK-based candidates are keenly sought after by our overseas clients and vice versa. The world is ever shrinking and certainly many skills and abilities are portable. We welcome this opportunity to provide a truly international network of opportunities to our membership.”
The arrangement provides NPA with a larger presence and more points of connection in the UK and across Europe. The NPA-TEAM alliance creates a combined global recruiting network of over 800 locations with coverage in a broad range of occupations and industries. “NPA is excited to have a working relationship with TEAM. We believe there is value for NPA members, TEAM members and for the clients and candidates represented by each,” states Dave Nerz, President of NPA.
