1. WHAT IS THE ETHICAL RECRUITING ALLIANCE (ERA)?
|
The Ethical Recruiting Alliance (ERA) is a global educational and accrediting organization which serves to certify that recruiters, headhunters, executive search consultants and recruiting agencies have met a series of standardized requirements as detailed in our ethical guidelines and professional code of conduct.
|
|
The ERA is both industry-vertical and industry-segment agnostic, covering all major verticals including automotive, banking, finance, information technology, semiconductors, chemicals, industrial, life science, pharma, fashion, consumer products, professional services and more.
2. WHAT DOES THE ETHICAL RECRUITING ALLIANCE DO?
We don't tell you who not to work with. We only tell you who to work with.
|
We're here to make the world of recruiting and executive search a much better, more ethical, professional and enjoyable experience for candidates, clients, search consultants and search firms alike.
And while we can't bring those recruiters or recruiting agencies to the table that aren't willing to embrace ethically-grounded, professional recruiting practices, what we can do and what we did do was to build an organization around the "good" recruiters. |
And that's exactly what we did.
We built the ERA to support and promote the "good" guys.
Like you.
As we move forward we'll continue to focus on identifying, assessing and certifying quality recruiters and executive search consultants who meet our organization's high ethical and professional standards.
Upon receiving ERA certification, recruiters and search consultants can proudly display the ERA-certification badges to support both their online presence and offline business activities. Further, ERA-certification immediately signals to prospective candidates and clients the level and quality of your recruiting service, letting the prospective candidate or client know both what they can and should expect from you.

3. HOW DO I BENEFIT FROM THE ERA?
When you become an ERA-certified recruiter or executive search consultant you immediately differentiate yourself from the commoditized, mass-market of search, which is primarily populated with "slash and burn" recruiters.
At the same time, your ERA-certification signals to candidates and clients that you are an ethically-grounded professional who has met a predetermined level of ethical and professional conduct during the course of your recruiting work and that, more importantly, you are committed to do so now and in the future.
