The Metroplex Association of Personnel Consultants (MAPC) is a professional trade association dedicated to promoting high standards of business practices and training programs for members of the staffing industry within a group setting.

MAPC membership includes firms involved in direct hire placement, executive search, contract and temporary services. Affiliate members include businesses which service the personnel service industry. MAPC is one of 6 local associations of its kind in the state of Texas.
When MAPC was founded, the first objective listed was to promote and encourage high standards, efficiency, conduct, and ethics of the personnel consulting industry by means of study, discussion, and education regarding business activities and responsibilities.

Today, as the membership continues to diversify, it is vital for the organization to maintain a pulse on the needs of members. Surveys are conducted to identify personnel consulting needs regarding legal updates, new techniques and the latest technology.
Additionally, training sessions to prepare individuals for national certification examinations are conducted locally to encourage participation. Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) and Certified Temporary Staffing Specialist (CTS) exams sponsored by NAPS are conducted twice a year. They cover laws and business practices that pertain to the personnel service industry.

MAPC also sponsors an annual local awards program which recognizes top performers in the categories of direct hire placement, blended services and contract/temporary services. This encourages a spirit of friendly competition and offers recognition for participating members of MAPC.
