$40K Fee Leads the Way in TE This Week
Traditionally, the end of August is considered the end of summer . . . even though summer does not officially end until September 22.
And so, it makes sense that TE Network recruiters would want to end the summer with a bang. And this year, we’re ending summer with a $40K split placement fee!
Actually, Network members Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC and Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting are ending summer that way. That’s because Maria and Brad placed a Senior Engineering Manager to earn a fee of $40,000 at 25%.
But that’s not all the good news we have. In addition, Kristi Dean of KLDean & Associates, LLC made her first split placement as a member of TE Network. Kristi made her placement with Victor Lopez of Resource One International.
Krist and Victor placed a Project Administrator to generate a $17,520 fee at 20%. Congratulations to Kristi on her first TE Network split!
As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our placements:
- Names of the trading partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
- Job title
- Overall placement fee (before TE Network’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
- Fee percentage
Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in TE Network for the period from September 1 through September 14, 2025.
Remember, if you don’t want information related to your split placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.
Once again, congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in TE Network!
