Being an NPA member has given Challenge Consulting the
opportunity to broaden our market reach and to maximize
opportunities that would otherwise not have been possible.
In addition, Challenge staff have forged some valuable and
trusted relationships with many NPA members and we look
forward to developing more around the world in the future.
NPA is the global answer to grow our independent
recruiting business.
Elizabeth Varley, Managing Director, Challenge Consulting, Australia

4. Testimonial
We have invested in NPA membership since 1988 and have long regarded NPA as
the best business decision and investment we’ve made as a company for these
reasons:
1. NPA membership immediately established us a national and global
recruiting and search firm
2. NPA offered instant access to legitimate work as a hedge against lulls in
our direct search business
3. Advice and counsel from the best minds in the executive search industry
are available to us through our NPA affiliate offices
4. NPA provides access to the cutting edge trainers for a fraction of the cost of
attending seminars individually
Personally, having served as a Board member and Trading Group chair for the
better part of 20 years, my experience as a leader in NPA broadened my
professional life and is one of the greatest accomplishments in this industry.

5. Testimonial
I work in an office with only two recruiters. Sometimes I am
overwhelmed with the number of jobs I am trying to fill.
Being a member of NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting
Network is extremely helpful to my business. I am able to
call on my associates to help me fill my jobs. If it were not
for NPA, I would have let several job orders go unfilled. It is
also nice to have such a great network of recruiters to call
on to discuss the recruiting space. Joining monthly calls
and attending regional and annual meetings with other
recruiters is very beneficial and has really helped my
business throughout the past 14 years.
Anne Downing, Professional Recruiter, Demetrio & Associates, USA

6. Testimonial
Before joining NPA, we were seen as a small, local recruiting
firm located outside of a major city. However, once we
joined NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network, we were
able to leverage our membership and serve clients outside
of our local area—including regional, national, and
international. Now, we have clients who just “know” we can
recruit for them, regardless of location. Talk about “found
money” and outstanding ROI! I highly recommend
membership in NPA to any independent recruiter.

7. Testimonial
We joined NPA in 1996 in an effort to expand our business by making
more placements working cooperatively with other recruiters. Since
that time, NPA has not only been a tremendous direct source of
revenue, it has also been:
 Our IT advisor
 A tremendous support network through amazing relationships built with
affiliates within NPA
 A key tool to recession-proof our business by being able to work with
affiliates in a number of different locations and industries (domestically and
globally)
 An excellent learning and professional growth forum through NPA’s global
and regional networking meetings
NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network, is a key factor in both our
success and our survival.
Meri Laird Jones, Partner, Davidson-Laird & Associates, USA

The market was in the dumper. The bills just kept
coming, like rent and overhead, and there was no relief in
sight for new revenue. And then we joined NPA. For the
next two years, we found a market and revenue through the
cooperative efforts of our partners in this proven global
recruiting organization. That was in 1982, and we are still
members and still seeing NPA provide revenue
opportunities during good times and bad.
George F. Black CPC, President, RSA Corporation, USA

9. Testimonial
Since joining NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network, I
have over 300 search firms globally as partners without the
problem of managing individual offices. My network has
grown substantially and I have placed AVANTI in the
world-class market. We are taking advantage of the boom
in the Asian economy. Our major accounts are
multinational clients in the Philippines referred by NPA
associates.
Nerissa Reyes, President, Avanti Partnership, Philippines

10. Testimonial
NPA has been a valuable resource to our business in many
ways. We have increased revenue and strengthened client
relationships as a result of the expanded capability
provided by our NPA membership. Our ability to help
clients with global recruiting needs is one advantage of
membership. We also enjoy many great peer relationships
built through NPA. I highly recommend NPA to any
independent recruiter or recruiting firm.
Bill Benson, Partner, William Charles Executive Search, USA

NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network provides me
with the support and tools needed to improve my
efficiency and effectiveness. Thanks to the help of
affiliates, I have been able to present better
candidates, and these candidates have resulted in
additional placement revenue for my business. The
process of working with affiliates can be so much fun
that I find myself working overtime to make a split
placement!
Michele Smythe CPC, Principal, Corporate Search, USA

We have been able to leverage our NPA partnership to extend Rita Technology
Services’ recruiting capabilities for a Florida-based client. When I approached my
client, I knew their growth plans were in India, not the US. I had just one goal in
mind…continue to support the client no matter what.
I contacted my NPA partner based in India via email and Skype. The team at
Cucumber Consultants delivered effectively and more! The feedback has been stellar
with regard to Cucumber’s candidate profiles, information sharing, and the overall
recruiting process when compared to the current recruiting companies my client
uses. As a result, we have had 2 offers in the last week, with verbal acceptances from
both!
I am excited about “going global” with our new trusted trading partner, Cucumber
Consulting! This experience confirms that a Tampa, Florida-based independent
recruiter can compete against the large international recruiting organizations and
win. Our quality and service levels utilizing talented NPA partners around the globe
outperformed the branch office of a large international chain.
John Holton, Director Client Services, Rita Technology Services, USA
