NPA and TEAM
Announce Strategic Alliance
NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network with global headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA has entered into a strategic alliance with TEAM – The Employment Agency Movement, based in the UK. 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 business opportunities for the cumulative membership. Clients and candidates represented by these two networks will benefit from the worldwide connections and boundary-breaking reach that will be available from the combined networks of TEAM and NPA.
The arrangement provides NPA with a larger presence and more points of connection in the UK and across Europe. Once implemented, NPA members will have a new collection of recruiting partners to work with cooperatively to fill open positions and place employees throughout UK and Europe. The NPA-TEAM alliance creates a combined recruiting network of over 600 locations worldwide 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.
TEAM’s 300-plus members will gain access to NPA’s worldwide membership of nearly 400 premier independent recruiters to respond to the growing needs of UK and European based clients with demand for talent in North America, South America, Africa, and all across Asia/Pacific. “To gain this access to a like-minded organization with a global presence offers TEAM members a real advantage,” according to Simon Garbett, Managing Director of TEAM.
