What it means?
Since 1961, the National Association of Personnel Services has been certifying recruiting
and staffing professionals nationally. Today, there are more than 10,000 professionals
designated as Certified Personnel Consultants (CPC) or Certified Temporary-Staffing
Specialists (CTS). Over 300 professionals are dually certified, a trend that continues
to grow as the market and demand dictates more blended capabilities. NAPS also has
available the first staffing specialty certification designation, the Physician
Recruiting Consultant (PRC).
Why certify?
Certification is viewed by the business community and the industry as a seal of excellence.
Fortune Magazine reported in its July 20, 1998 issue that one way to choose a recruiter is
to ask if they've been certified.
NAPS certification was initially established as a self-regulation vehicle for the
staffing industry. Today, along with this, it is the opportunity to expand the professional
knowledge base in employment law, changing regulations, best business practices and the
highest standards of ethics.
Why continuing education?
It's very important that certified staffing professional stay current with legal, business
and related practices. In 1995, NAPS initiated mandatory continuing education for CPCs and
CTSs. You must take part in 50 contact hours of professional development or training
experiences in each three (3) year period after certification. Visit the various links
on this Web site to learn more about this continuing education and how to meet this
requirement.
Those certified professional who do no meet the continuing education requirement every
three years will have the certification rights revoked until the credits are achieved.
