UK-based trade body Direct Employers Association (DEA) has announced its new partnership with similarly named US-based DirectEmployers Association. The partnership is intended to further aid and educate HR professionals in the field of recruitment and talent acquisition, reports digitaljournal.com.

Bill Warren, Executive Director of US DirectEmployers Association, commented: “With similar missions and drive to create effective recruitment methods and strategies for our respective members, this partnership can not only positively impact our membership, but also provide them with further educational opportunities and access to their peers.” 

The US DirectEmployers Association will focus on providing employers with the technology necessary to fulfil federal job listing regulations, as well as employment marketing and branding services. DEA Europe, guided by six key objectives, will promote the importance of the recruitment agenda via training, promotion, and services.

Colin Minto, Chairman DEA Europe said: “We are delighted to collaborate with the US DirectEmployers Association to expand the support and services that DEA Europe provides to its members to a wider global audience. The opportunity to align both Associations’ products and services to empower and develop member strategies, and those that deliver them, is an extremely exciting proposition and one that will further elevate the resourcing agenda and those that practice it.”

Through this new partnership members can benefit from the educational environment by gaining access to the DEA Europe’s member network and interacting with fellow recruitment and talent acquisition professionals. They can also access tomorrow’s talent via the DEA Europe Schools Initiative and post job opportunities to the DEA Europe job board for free.

DirectEmployers is an employer-driven association focusing on talent acquisition and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programmes (OFCCP) compliance.

DEA Europe is a non-profit membership organisation specifically created for businesses with a specific focus on talent acquisition and resourcing.
