Amy Chapman Strikes Again with a $65K Split Fee

Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing has struck again!

Top Echelon Content and Communications Manager Matthew Deutsch

What is she striking, exactly? Uber-big split placement fees, that’s what, although she’s been doing this in TE Network for quite some time.

After being part of the largest split fee of the week in last week’s issue if The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, Amy is part of the largest split fee in the Network this week, as well. This time around, Amy placed a Regional Manufacturing Director with trading partner Irina Kirnos of Executive Placement to earn a $65,000 fee at 25%.

But wait . . . Amy is not done striking again. (Or is that again-again?) That’s because she also recently placed a Director of Operations with Lisa Vella Puff of L.V. Enterprises, generating a recruiting fee of $60,000 in the process.

If there’s one thing for certain, this Top Producer and Top Echelon Hall of Famer is not letting the economy (or anything else for that matter) slow her down.

Speaking of slowing down, let’s shift gears and also congratulate TE Network member Bethany Prince-Rood of HCP Talent. As you can see below, Bethany recently made her first split placement as a member of the Network!

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

  • Names of the trading 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 June 8 through June 14, 2026.

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.

Once again, congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in TE Network!
