Certified Staffing Specialists (CTS)

Since 1961, the National Association of Personnel Services has been certifying recruiting and staffing professionals nationally. 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 staffing specialist 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.

To be eligible for a CTS certification, a number of criteria must be met:

• Two years experience in staffing
• Candidates must currently be employed in the industry
• Candidates must be able to submit written verification of their two years experience upon request
• Candidates must agree to uphold the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS) Standards of Ethical Practices and certification program rules

Whether you're looking for a job, or looking for a qualified employee, the CTS designation certifies the knowledge, skills, and professionalism of your staffing specialists to connect you to great people or great jobs!
