changing regulations, and agency operations. By earning these certifications,
a placement consultant has demonstrated their dedication to the
placement industry and commitment to the following ethical business
practices.

To quality for certification, an individual must be an Owner, Partner, Manager, or Placement consultant of a Private Placement Firm or corporate human resources or employee relations professional who is currently employed in the industry. The designation can only be granted to individuals;
no firm can claim that it is a CPC or CTS firm.
