The Largest Split Fees in TE Network for July

Jeff Katz of JSK Recruiting has done it again!

What has Jeff done, exactly? Well, he’s been part of the Largest Split Fee of the Month in TE Network for the second month in a row.

In June, Jeff and Rebecca Lucas of CPG Talent Management, LLC placed a Director of Sales to earn a $50,000 fee at 25%. Then in July, Jeff and Thomas Trese of Tom Trese Networking, LLC placed a Procurement Packaging Manager, generating a fee of $41,400 in the process.

But that was far from the only big split placement fee in TE Network last month. Behold . . . feast your eyes on the fees below . . . and perhaps your name will grace the pages of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog next month.

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!
