Recruiters Reach the 100-Placement Plateau in TE

At Top Echelon, we like to celebrate the successes of our Network recruiters! This is especially the case when they reach certain milestones. Like, say, making their 100th Network placement.

The good news is that we recently had a bevy of recruiters reach that mark. (Do recruiters move in a bevy or a flock? Or is it a school? A herd?)

The bad news is that we can’t fit them all into this article in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. Since that’s the case, I’ll simply write another article and publish it in a future issue. Modern problems call for modern solutions.

In the meantime, the first three Network members that we’d like to highlight for reaching this milestone are Al Daum of Alan N. Daum & Associates, Inc.; Larry Ploscowe of EXEK Recruiters, Ltd.; and Larry Radzely of Adel-Lawrence Associates, Inc.

Below are their comments regarding reaching this milestone and the impact that Top Echelon Network membership has had on their business.

Al Daum

In addition to reaching the 100-placement plateau, Al has also reached the $1 million mark in Top Echelon in terms of cash-in. Al, who started recruiting in 1976, specializes in placing process control engineers.

He’s also a big fan of attending Top Echelon’s recruiter networking events and an even bigger fan of the Ohio State University football team.

“Can’t say enough about longevity! I have split with close to 40 current and ex-TEers,” said Al. “Being a one-person office all these years, TE has been an integral part of my business plan. I have always been impressed about the high level of professionalism that exists in the Top Echelon Network.

“I feel very fortunate for having been associated with everyone I have met through TE. I have made splits in all sorts of ways—calling or being called by another recruiter for help, receiving daily notifications, advertising my jobs on TE, other recruiters posting my jobs, etc.”

Larry Ploscowe

Like Al, Larry Ploscowe has been in both the profession and Top Echelon Network for quite a while. He started recruiting in 1991.

Larry has also rocketed past the $1 million mark in Top Echelon. For his career, his Network cash-in total stands at more than $1.1 million.

“Earning my 100th placement on TE means a great deal to me,” said Larry. “Top Echelon has been a key part of EXEK’s success and my success as a recruiter. The Network makes me a more powerful resource for my client companies and active applicants. TE expands my reach across the country, across industries, and professions.

“I don’t think EXEK would have been able to exist without TE. I’m hoping I’ll earn a hundred more placements before I’m done. Thank you for the opportunity to work with such a great company and business partner.”

Larry Radzely

When it comes to tenure within Top Echelon Network, almost nobody can beat Larry Radzley. (Outside of Charter Member Steve Brody, that is.)

Larry and his agency, Adel-Lawrence Associates, joined the Network in 1991. Since that time, the agency has billed close to $700K.

“We have been a member of TE since 1991, so 100 placements over 32 years is just over three placements per year,” said Larry. “We value our relationship with TE, and we’ve established long-lasting relationships with many TE recruiters over the years.

“We could not have established these relationships without becoming a member of the TE family. Looking back, we consider the decision to join Top Echelon to be one of the best business decisions we have ever made!”
