GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, USA – December 23, 2014 – NPAworldwide, a global recruiting network, is pleased to announce the following recruiters have earned Platinum or Double Platinum Recruiter Achievement Status:

Double Platinum – representing cumulative salaries of at least US $10 million

  • Amy Friedman, Friedman Associates, LLC (www.friedmanassoc.com), Old Saybrook, Connecticut USA
  • Jim Laurenzo, Simplified Search (www.yoursimplifiedsearch.com), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Platinum – representing cumulative salaries of at least US $5 million

  • Nerissa Reyes, Avanti People Partnership International (www.avantipartnership.com), Manila, Philippines

“Recruiter Achievement Status recognizes cumulative salary totals within NPAworldwide,” commented president Dave Nerz. “It represents lifetime achievement, so it is an acknowledgement of network tenure in addition to individual productivity. Split placements through NPAworldwide are just a fraction of our members’ overall business. Only a very small number of our members have reached the Platinum or Double Platinum levels of achievement.”

NPAworldwide recognizes six levels of performance through the Recruiter Achievement Status program. Platinum Premier is the highest, followed by Double Platinum, Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Less than 4 percent of all NPAworldwide recruiters globally have achieved Platinum or Double Platinum status.

About NPAworldwide. NPAworldwide is a recruitment network facilitating placements between its members. The network has more than 425 member offices with 1,200 recruiters in 30 countries on 6 continents. For more information, please visit www.npaworldwide.com.
