70 years ago, while Elvis was topping the charts and Grace Kelly was making headlines, a recruiter named Neil Hibbert was quietly changing our industry for good.

On December 1, 1956, National Personnel Associates was officially formed, built on one belief: recruiters who work together place more people than any one firm working alone.

Watch our 70th anniversary reel and see how seven decades of collaboration, integrity, and volunteer leadership shaped the network we are today.

In 1956, Neil Hibbert founded National Personnel Associates on a si...

We have some exciting news to share! Congratulations to Elisa Sheftic on achieving Platinum level in the NPAworldwide Recruiter Achievement Status program! 🎉

Congratulations to Ralf Spahn of Spahn Personalberatung — the recipient of NPAworldwide's 2026 Regional Leadership Award for EMEA! 🏆

Ralf was celebrated at the 2026 NPAworldwide PowerUp EMEA Conference in Dublin, Ireland, and it's well deserved. Over the years, he has been a genuine driving force across the EMEA region — organizing regular meetings in Germany, showing up at NPAworldwide meetings in London, and consistently showing up for fellow members with honest, practical input when it's needed most.

Beyond that, Ralf has championed cross-border collaboration and pushed members to think bigger — advocating for working by function rather than just niche, and helping the community see where they can truly add value and make placements together.

Ralf, we're proud to have you in our corner. 👏

🚩 Job seekers, please read this and share it with a friend.
We've learned that scammers are pretending to be NPAworldwide staff, emailing people with fake job offers. We want you to stay safe, so here's the truth.

NPAworldwide doesn't recruit candidates directly, send surprise job offers, or ask you to pay fees. Ever. Real opportunities come through our member firms, not a random email promising fast money.

A few red flags to watch for:

• Sender addresses that look "off" or use free email services ... side note: we do NOT have Gmail addresses for anyone on our staff
• Requests for your bank details, ID, or upfront payments
• Pressure to act fast before you "lose" the role
• Offers that sound too good to be true

Think you've been targeted? Here's what to do:

• Stop communicating—don't reply or click any links.
• Report it to your local authorities and consumer protection agencies.
• Protect your accounts and contact your bank if you shared financial info.
• Reach out to us directly through our official website to confirm.

We've built our community on trust since 1956, and that includes looking out for the people who count on us. If something feels wrong, trust your gut and verify first.

Help us protect others—share this post with anyone job hunting right now. 💙

70 years of recruiter partnerships. One powerful idea: we do better when we work together.

The community, collaboration, and trust that have always been at the heart of who we are still guides us today.

What does a strong recruiter partnership mean to you?
