Notice to Staffing Vendors, Search Firms, and Recruiting Agencies
At ECRI, we manage the recruitment process through the Human Resources Department. For candidates to be considered, they must be presented through one of the ECRI recruiters, who can be reached by emailing HRD@ecri.org. Third-party recruiters are not to contact any ECRI employees directly in an attempt to present candidates.
To protect the interests of all parties involved, ECRI requires a signed contract to be in place before the presentation of any candidates. ECRI does not accept unsolicited resumes from staffing vendors, including recruitment agencies and/or search firms, and does not pay fees to any such vendors without a current contract on file.
