office of any employer in which we
have made a placement for a minimum
of a six-month period following that
placement
- treating confidential information
relating to the client accordingly
- guaranteeing information provided to
the client shall be the most
accurate information known to
our firm
- never referring a candidate to a client
until he or she has personally
interviewed, screened and determined
appropriate as a referral to the client
- never withholding candidate information
which the client would reasonably
consider essential to its hiring decision
- referring candidates only after receiving
the candidates' express prior consent
- never discriminating in the provision of
our services on the basis of race,
creed, color, national origin, religion,
sex, marital status, handicap, age or
