發展歷史


協會 成立於1989年,在國家民政部登記註冊,其政府主管部門為國家貿促會,同時接受國家商務部的業務指導。
協會目前擁有全國各地一百多家會員單位,集中了外企、外事、外航三大涉外服務領域的旗艦和精英企業。會員單位的主營業務是為外國及台、港、澳地區的經濟組織和企業的在華商務代表機構,外國駐華使、領館、聯合國及境外媒體駐華機構,外國航空公司在華常設機構,以及“三資企業”提供各種類型、優質高檔的人力資源服務。截止到2004年,全行業客戶群體已達4萬1千餘家,全年營業收入總計已逾人民幣達195億元,業務覆蓋率為上述國(境)外駐華常設機構的百分之九十以上。
協會面向會員、面向政府、面向外商、面向市場,建有自己的網站,發行自己的刊物,每年組織行業內的培訓、研討、交流和出訪,與政府相關部委建立了良好的溝通機制,與國外同行業組織和機構取得了廣泛的聯繫。協會還於1999年經外交部批准,加入“民間職介機構國際同盟”(ciett),是海峽兩岸在該國際職介合作組織中唯一的合法代表。
十幾年來,協會緊緊圍繞“行業服務,行業自律,行業代表,行業協調”的基本職能積極作為,在實踐中初步形成了一套既有民主集中,又有較高效率的組織形式和運作機制。理事會是協會最高權力機構,常務理事會是協會的常設機構,會長會議是協會的最高議事機構,秘書處是協會的日常工作機構。
在新的世紀里,面對挑戰與機遇並存的新形勢,中國對外服務工作行業協會將認真貫徹落實黨的十六大精神,努力使協會成為“獨立公正、規範運作的專業化市場自律性組織”,為會員單位提供交流經驗,獲取信息和開展國內外業務合作的平台,引導會員單位提高服務質量,擴大服務產品,拓寬服務領域,完善服務機制,強化誠信建設,同時,協調會員關係、維護行業權益,影響法規建設,發揮橋樑作用,促進入世后中國人力資源服務行業的發展。
