A Bountiful Harvest of TE Network Split Placements

November is here, and while we don’t know how it got to be this late in the year so quickly, this is a great time to talk about bountiful harvests.

Top Echelon Content and Communications Manager Matthew Deutsch

Matthew Deutsch

Of what, you may ask? Wheat? Corn? Barley?

No, no, and no. What I’m talking about is a bountiful harvest of split placements, that’s what!

And what a bounty it is. Below are 17 recent split placements from trading partners in TE Network, including one that resulted in the Largest Split Fee of the Month for October. The fee in question totaled $50K.

That could buy you a lot of wheat, corn, and barley. (At least . . . I think it could.)

But before we go, we must specifically congratulate recruiter Eric Hanson of Vitruvian Consulting, Inc. Eric made his first split placement recently as a member of TE Network, placing a Field Service Technician with Adam Pantelli of AJ Search to score a recruiting fee of $21,250 at 25%.

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our 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 October 20 through November 2, 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.

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