Our Policy with Clients

Our ultimate goal is to develop and maintain long-term business relationships with our clients. We strive to achieve the following goals that value professionalism above short-term financial gain:

To pursue in a prompt, ethical, and efficient manner, the identity and recruitment of qualified professionals for client companies.

To meet the highest possible standards or excellence in quality of work performed for each client.

Consistent dedication to the principle that serving the clients best interest must be the primary reason for any decision or action taken by any associate or the Firm.

The team approach to executive search at Palacios & Associates requires that all members of the Firm's professional staff be knowledgeable in a broad spectrum of functional disciplines and associations as well as accomplished in executive recruitment.

Off-Limits policy:

We believe that good business judgment dictates that a firm engaged in executive searches is ethically bound not to consider candidates who work with organizations regarded as clients unless a clear and prior understanding exists between the client and the candidate to the effect that the candidate has definitely decided to leave our client's employ in any event. We hold to this ethical conduct and can in no event consider an individual who is currently associated with a client. A "Client" is defined as a corporation which has established a formal and continued working relationship with our firm, and we have filled positions on a staff or management level. Also, it is our policy not to pursue placed candidates for any other position that we may have available during this employment with our served company.

Confidentiality:

We will treat as highly confidential all information concerning our clients, its organization and business plans. We expect that they will also treat the information presented to them as highly confidential and for their exclusive use.

Ethics:

We are the only search firm in PR who is a member of the National Association of Executive Recruiters (NAER), and we pledge fully to its strict standards of ethical practices and professional requirements. We also stand by the Association of Executive Search Consultants Code of Ethics.
