A $42,500 Fee Tops This Week’s Split Placements

Top Echelon Network recruiters were in double digits again last week, as they racked up another 13 split placements.

In addition, the largest split fee of the week was $42,500!

Congratulations to both Jim Sitek of FSN and Sarah Katz of First Search, Inc. Jim and Sarah placed a Finance Manager to generate that fee at 25%.

But that wasn’t the only sizeable fee in Top Echelon last week. Check out the placements below to see the industries and niches in which Preferred Members are making placements.

And congratulations are also in order for Luke Oliver of Lazio Search Group, Inc. and Elizabeth Wellington of TWG Recruiters. They both made their first split placement in Top Echelon Network recently!

  • Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
