Compliments: ‘The TE Network Delivered Where Others Had Failed’

by Mark Demaree on 05.19.2011

Recruiters become part of Top Echelon’s recruiter network because they want to make placements they wouldn’t have made if they hadn’t been part of the Network. Sure, they’re split placements, not full-fee placements, but “half a loaf is better than no loaf at all.”

That’s the driving force behind this installment in our “‘Comments’ and Compliments Extra” feature, which includes a pair of Network recruiters who placed a candidate for which a company had been desperately looking. Talk about a win-win situation—for the candidate, the recruiters, and the company. And of course, one of the recruiters made a special request to praise their Trading Partner in a more elaborate fashion . . . as you can see below.

“We got this search after another recruiter, after several months, was fired for not producing viable candidates. I called Matt, apprised him of the situation and our desire to to fill this position. In a few days, Matt provided me with the candidate they subsequently hired. This was our client’s first engineering placement, and we (the TE Network) delivered where others had failed. They are very excited. Thanks Matt. We will do this again.”

Position Title—Senior Project Engineer
Fee Percentage—30%

“A big thank you to Jim for staying on top of his client and our candidate to put this deal together. This is our second split placement with Continental Search this year, and we expect many more. They know how to qualify jobs and candidates and are wonderful at keeping their recruiting partner informed of the process. Jim is professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, knows how to close the deal. We are always looking for a high-quality recruiting partner to work with, and Continental Search fits the bill.”
