A $75,000 Placement Fee Already in 2025!

As you probably know, this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog contains the largest recruiting fees in TE Network for 2024.

The largest fee was $63,000. And we’ve already had a fee in 2025 that’s bigger than that one!

That’s because Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Jeff Katz of JSK Recruiting placed a Vice President to earn a fee of $75,000 at 25%. And Amy and Jeff also contributed one of the top 10 recruiting fees in TE Network last year.

Needless to say, they’re off to a good start.

As are the rest of the recruiters listed below!

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our placements:

  • Names of the split recruiting 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 January 13 through January 19, 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.

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in TE Network!
