Dear Nicky,

I have a division of my company that provides offshore research support. Can I promote that to my NPAworldwide partners? It's a very good service with attractive rates.

Promoting in Provemont

Dear Provemont,

It is not unusual for members to own, partially own, or somehow be affiliated with other businesses that provide products or services that are complementary to recruitment. It is not OK to utilize your NPAworldwide membership as a marketing database for these ventures. In certain circumstances, a paid sponsorship may be available. Please make yourself familiar with Section A. Policies, 13. Marketing of NPAworldwide / Self-Promotion in our Operations Manual, shown below:

13. Marketing of NPAworldwide / Self-Promotion

Members are not authorized to solicit business by representing themselves as NPAworldwide’s exclusive representative. No member may use the NPAworldwide name or logo as its primary identifying name or logo.

NPAworldwide functions shall not be used to foster or promote members’ products or services that extend beyond the normal exchange of positions or candidates. In some situations, sponsorship opportunities are available for a fee.

Confidential information derived from or provided by NPAworldwide is to be used by members only for business activity relating to the exchange of candidates and positions. Member use of confidential NPAworldwide information (emails, addresses, phone numbers, etc.) for unsolicited promotion of products and/or services, charitable activities, political activities, or any other personal non-NPAworldwide interest, is inappropriate. The offending member is subject to expulsion. NPAworldwide will designate appropriate methods or locations for unsolicited promotion, if the Board agrees to make such an option available.

Thanks for checking!

Nicky
