Credentialing at NAPS
Physician Recruiter Consultants (PRC), and those who aspire to that designation, represent the
individuals who set the tone for a profession by striving for excellence, and by being guided,
certainly, by business sense and legal principles, but more importantly, by a recognition that
true success only comes to one who conducts himself in accordance with the highest ethical
principles and standards.
The NAPS certification trains a recruiter to be knowledgeable about the federal laws affecting
the staffing industry and the work of professional personnel consultants in the United States — knowledge
of which is essential for those engaged in this important work. The PRC examination is considered a
specialty/supplemental exam that addresses information relevant to practice of physician recruiting
and the professional personnel consultants that function within those firms.
Those obtaining this credential will learn about the myriad of laws and regulations which will affect
them in their profession. Those who have not yet obtained this credential, we are hoping that through
this course-work, one might find this to be a readable and useful guide in their day to day activities.
Most importantly, perhaps, we hope that the presentation and discussion of the legal issues facing
physician consultants will inspire those who have not yet obtained the designation to seek to learn
more about why so many of their peers have determined that the symbol of the professional excellence
represented by the Physician Recruiter Consultant designation is so worthwhile to strive for and attain.
Credentialing Eligibility
In recent months, the NAPS has made many changes to the certification eligibility
requirements. It is the intent of the NAPS to first educate individuals in this
profession so that they may best serve their customers, whether that customer is
the client company hiring official, candidate, or even fellow recruiters. The PRC
examination is available at any time. However, it is strongly suggested that the
individual first obtain the study materials and become familiar with the content.
Individuals seeking NAPS certification must first meet certain certification
eligibility requirements:
- PRC candidates should be experienced in direct hire placements. Position experience
includes: owner, partner, manager, recruiter, placement consultant within a private
firm; or corporate human resources or employee relations professional within a large
corporation.
- Candidates must agree to uphold the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS)
Standards of Ethical Practices and certification program rules.
- Candidates seeking the PRC designation must complete two exams to qualify. Candidates
must pass either the CPC or CTS exam, along with the PRC exam.
How to Obtain This Credential
There is currently only one way in which a candidate may obtain this credential.
1. On-line examination. In this venue, the candidate must first set up an account, purchase

How To Keep This Credential
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor
and attended to with diligence.
