Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct

We believe that the credibility and reputation of the recruitment industry is shaped by the collective conduct of individual recruiters.

The purpose of the IRP's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is to instill confidence in the recruitment profession and to help an individual become a better recruiter; it describes the expectations that we have of IRP members.

The Code articulates the ideals to which we aspire as well as the behaviors that our mandatory in our professional and volunteer roles.

We truly believe that we can advance our profession, both individually and collectively, by embracing this Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Our hope is that the Code will serve as a catalyst for others to study, write about and debate on ethics and values to further evolve the recruitment industry.
