$55K Fee Tops This Week’s TE Network Splits

Sometimes a TE Network Top Producer makes a split placement with a new member. Sometimes a new member makes a split placement with another new member.

However, sometimes a Top Producer makes a split placement with another Top Producer. Or in this case, a Top Echelon Hall of Fame member makes a split with another Top Echelon Hall of Fame member.

And that just so happens to be the case in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog!

The Hall of Fame members in question are Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Michael Stuck of Gables Search Group. As you can see below, Amy and Michael recently placed a Director of Operations to earn a $55,000 fee at 25%.

Just for fun, let’s add Amy and Michael’s production since they joined TE Network:

• Over 28 combined years of membership
• 762 split placements
• $6,306,311 of cash-in

To say that is impressive would be an understatement, so I won’t say it. Instead, I’ll say that it is phenomenal production that represents a deep belief in The Four Pillars of TE Network and a commitment to Amy and Michael’s trading partners and fellow members.

As the Mandalorian would say, “This is the way.”

But before we part ways, I must also recognize Oleg Goltsov of K. Jacobs Executive Search, who recently made his first split placement as a member of TE Netowrk. Oleg placed an Estimator – Electrical with Alex Ello of Acloche Direct Hire to earn a $36,000 split fee at 20%.

(It should be noted that Amy also recently made two splits with another Top Echelon Hall of Fame member, Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting.)

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our split 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 August 3 through August 9, 2026.

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!
