The Top TE Network Split Placement Fees for May

Last week in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, we discussed the fact that we ushered in the month of June with a $49,000 split placement fee.

Well, it just so happens that fee is the Largest Split Fee of the Month in TE Network for May!

To refresh your memory, the Network recruiters involved in that split placement were Christina Boudreaux of Connectly Recruiting and Ann Boland of The Boland Group.

Christina and Ann placed a Chief Executive Officer to earn a flat $49,000 placement fee.

However, as you can see below, that was not the only large fee in TE Network during the month of May . . . so let’s dig in!

As a friendly reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its TE Network split fee recruiting awards in four distinct categories:

1.) Recruiter of the Month
2.) Largest Split Fee of the Month
3.) Recruiter of the Quarter
4.) Largest Split Fee of the Quarter

We only announce the winners of these awards in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog. We do so usually (but not always) in the issue following the conclusion of each month and/or quarter.

So congratulations to everybody on the list below for scoring some BIG placement fees during the month!
