reasons we are very selective in choosing the organizations with whom
we partner. The organizations referenced below reflect our commitment
to customer satisfaction and high industry standards.
The
Pinnacle Society represents the best of the best. It is an honors organization
for permanent placement recruiters. Formed in 1989 with the assistance
and leadership of Tony Byrne and Ben Meador, The Pinnacle Society was
created to provide the Premier Consortium of Top Recruiters in the country
a forum in which to discuss ideas about the recruiting industry. Membership
requirements keep the talent fresh and hold the members to a very high
standard of production. They are a non-profit, independent organization
that exists for its own benefit. They are not affiliated with any particular
trainer or organization such as NAPS or AESC.
Dedicated
to the theme of excellence in recruiting, members of The Pinnacle Society
are committed to an honest, ethical style of doing business and share
a desire to raise, on a global level, the standards of the profession.
Several Pinnacle Society members are trainers and have conducted presentations
to recruiting firms both nationally and internationally, teaching others
the qualities and techniques of top producers.

As
the personnel services profession grew, the need for national representation
became more evident. The National Employment Association (NEA) was created
from two older organizations, laying the cornerstone for what would
become the National Association of Personnel Consultants (NAPS), then
the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS).
The association
was formed to represent our profession in critical legislative arenas
in Washington, DC, provide legislative guidance and aid in states where
government affairs challenges exist, create a structure of ethical practices
for industry self-regulation, increase public and business awareness
of the value of personnel services, and to educate members and non-members
towards better practices and the maintenance of high professional standards.
With the formation
of NAPS, education and training of practitioners took on a national
dimension. NAPS began to conduct annual conferences and seminars to
bring needed help and training to individuals, owners, and managers
across the United States.
The National Association
of Personnel Services has been the staffing industry educator since
1961 and enjoys its reputation as the oldest industry association. We
continue to maintain the position as the search and staffing industry
educator through our certification program, continuing education initiatives,
eLearning and our annual conference.

Historically,
people of various professions have banded together in common purpose,
and so it was with the private personnel services industry in California.
The California Association of Personnel Consultants was initially formed
in 1937 as the Southern California Employment Agencies Association and
incorporated as a non-profit corporation on February 18, 1947. In 1955,
a statewide organization was formally identified and was named the California
Employment Agencies Association (CEAA). In 1970, this title was shortened
to the California Employment Association (CEA) and was subsequently
changed in May 1980 to California Association of Personnel Consultants.
In June, 2000, CAPC merged with the California Association of Temporary
Staffing Services (CATSS) to form California Staffing Professionals
(CSP), in order to better serve the staffing industry in California.
