Become an Affiliate
Becoming a registered ECS Affiliate involves the following steps:
- First, verify your eligibility by contacting ECS at (888) 553-2103.

Exclusions & Limitations
The following exclusions and limitations apply to this program:
Referrals without an Affiliate’s registration number.

ECS may refuse a client opportunity at its sole discretion.
Process for Referring a New Client
To refer a project to ECS:
- First, become an ECS Affiliate with a registered identification number (if you are not already a partner).
- Next, submit the client to ECS in writing, along with your Affiliate registration number. You are responsible for providing the correct registration number to ECS. Without a valid registration number, ECS may not compensate the referral.
- Finally, provide ECS with a written scope of the opportunity and include details on how to contact the client. Make sure to identify the parties involved, their objectives, and include the following information: contact name, position, company, phone number, email address, and business address.
Other Conditions
Affiliates can be individuals; business entities are not required. Law firms, HR consulting firms, temporary employment agencies, investigation agencies, and insurance agencies may also qualify for the Affiliate program. Full discretion in granting Affiliate registration rests with ECS, and Affiliate status can be revoked at any time. The company reserves the right to discontinue the program at any time.
Referral fee percentages may change with 30 days written notice from ECS. The rules governing this program are subject to current terms, which may change without notice.
Referrals must be submitted in writing through postal mail or email, with the date included. ECS will consider the date of receipt as the official referral date. If multiple referrals are submitted for the same job, the referral fee will be paid to the first one received. A valid registration number must be provided, as ECS may not compensate referrals without one.
