Association of Personnel Search Consultants of Russia (APSC), founded in 1996 and uniting over 90 Russian recruiting agencies is the oldest and the most reputable professional forum of Russian recruiters. One of the first acts by APSC was adoption of the Professional Ethics Code, which was a tremendous boost for quality recruitment in our country.APSC is actively engaged in elaboration of professional standards, training of consultants and educational activities aimed at potential Russian clients, many of whom still have a rather vague idea as to how to use to their benefit HR consulting services, including recruitment and Executive Search.One of our Group's companies, BLM-Consort, was among the founding members of the Association. Director of CONSORT Michael Bogdanov was President of APSC between 1999 — 2002 and 2003-2005.APSC
