Ethics codes are important to establish professional behavior. Having a high standard of ethics is one way in which Paradigm signals and delivers superior performance to the client, attracts candidates for clients and for Paradigm, and encourages the professional development. The code has elements to protect the confidentiality and interests of the client and of candidates against any apparent, short-term self-interest of an individual professional. The real interest of Paradigm is to be rigorously ethical. If there are issues that do not appear to be fully covered in our ethics code, the way to deal with them is to disclose the issue and agree in an equitable manner to a resolution with the client. |
