Through its Code of Professional Practice, ESCA provides assurance that recruitment consulting assignments undertaken by its member companies operate to similar standards of professionalism, objectivity and thoroughness which characterise other management consultancy activities.

Each ESCA member company agrees to provide the following level of service to its clients.

• Set out, after meeting with the Client, a proposed recruitment strategy; the nature and scope of the services to be provided, the projected timescale of each assignment and the fee structure.
• Draft a Recruitment Brief outlining the understanding of the Client organisation and its environment; detailing the responsibilities and accountabilities of the position to be filled, and identifying the competencies and experience which successful candidates should possess.
• Comunicate with the Client on a regular basis during the assignment, providing progress reports as required.
