5 Things You Should Do in TE Network During Q3

We are already more than halfway through 2026. However, as you well know, your work is far from over.

You have to finish the year strong and also prepare for what will hopefully be an even better year in 2027.

The good news is that there is simplicity to your split recruiting membership in TE Network. And with that in mind, I have five things that every member—even those who are active in the Network every day—should be doing during Q3 and beyond.

#1—Share every job you have.

Hedge your bets by filling the role more promptly as a split. This demonstrates to your clients that you are THE go-to source for their needs in any market or environment.

Need more convincing? Then here are four reasons “Why You Should Share ALL of Your Jobs with TE.”

#2—Upload your candidates and opt-in to Network Candidates

You know better than most people how tight the market is right now and how it has softened during the past several months. Even though hiring demand is not at optimal levels at the moment, qualified job candidates are still in demand and employers are still willing to use a recruiting agency to help meet their needs.

TE Network members, like all recruiters, need candidates! And they need them yesterday, so upload all of your candidates to the Network system and opt-in to the Network Candidates sourcing tool. (That is, if you haven’t done so already.)

#3—Check your quality.

What do the candidates look like that you are directly submitting to your TE Network partners’ jobs? Be sure that you have thoroughly read the job description and spoken to the recruiter.

(And don’t forget that Quality is one of The Four Pillars of TE Network. We haven’t.)

#4—Call your trading partners back.

If somebody reaches out to work with you . . . respond to them! Communication is king in our recruiter network, so please act accordingly.

It will only take a few minutes of your time and it will go a long way toward branding you in a positive way within the Network.

#5—Develop at least FIVE (5) new partnerships.

Expanding your network can only increase your success. Strive to create five new partnerships or working relationships in TE Network during the third quarter.
