Why It Works – The Exponential Power of a Network
NPAworldwide’s network operates on split-fee placements. That means recruiters are
sharing information to fill your open positions with top-quality candidates. Unlike non-
member firms, our global recruiters have access to a pool of passive candidates
developed by more than 500 firms and 1300 recruiters. Their searches aren’t limited to a
single recruiter’s candidate pool or to a small number of candidates found on a job
board. Rather, NPAworldwide members deliver a world of possibilities through an
international recruiting network.
“I’ve worked with an NPAworldwide office for several years now on a variety of project. Their efforts to
understand our exacting requirements are second to none…They’ve been quickly able to connect with their
partner firms (internationally) and commence a thorough search on our behalf.”
— Director of Global Metallurgical supply company

7. Many employers do not like working with recruitment companies. In markets that employers know well and have
social media connections, perhaps it is possible to avoid independent recruiters or at a minimum reduce the
dependence on outside agents. When the needs of companies expand beyond a local market and into countries
where there is no physical presence, recruitment agencies may be the only way to achieve the results that are
needed. What are some great things to know when you go searching for international recruiting expertise? Consider
these basic questions to identify the strong players from those who may waste your time and money:
1. How does your fee structure work?
2. Does your search firm have partners and connections where you are hiring?
3. What is the most common source of the candidates you place?
4. How long will it take you to provide me a short list of 5 candidates?
5. Can you tell me about international placement you or your affiliates/partners have done?
6. Does your firm belong to an international network or association of any type?
