Employers/Recruiters

Recruiters and employers that subscribe to the Voluntary Code of Conduct for the Ethical Recruitment of Foreign-Educated Health Professionals to the United States (Code) demonstrate industry leadership by committing to work in a serious and systematic way to improve recruitment practices and, by extension, improve both the lives of the health workers they recruit, the quality of the care those health professionals provide to patients, and the impact the migration of health workers has had on source countries.

Earning the status of an Alliance Certified Subscriber demonstrates a commitment to self-regulation and recognition of the economic benefits that stem from conducting business within a framework of social responsibility.

The Alliance has launched a "Pilot Phase" scheduled to last through December 2012. Leading companies and health care organizations that engage in the recruitment of foreign-educated health professionals - either directly or indirectly - are encouraged to participate in the Pilot to 1) demonstrate leadership in the industry by becoming an early adopter of transparent, ethical recruitment practices subject to external monitoring; and 2) provide the Alliance with valuable feedback, insights and expertise as we develop and test programs, policies and procedures.
