A Close Race for the Largest Fee of the Quarter!

It was a close race for the Largest Split Fee of the Quarter in TE Network for the fourth quarter of 2024!

That’s because the largest split fee edged out the second-largest split fee by just $500.

Claiming the top spot were Aldin Beslagic of BestLogic Staffing and Amir Asgari of Saba Talent, who placed a VP of Sales (Aerospace Services) to earn a $63,000 fee at 20%.

In second place were Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Jeff Katz of JSK Recruiting. Amy and Jeff placed a Sr. Director of Global Maintenance Process Systems to earn a fee of $62,500 at 25%.

And we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that Amy dominated the board in terms of the top 10 largest split fees of the fourth quarter. That’s because, as you can see below, she was part of four of the top 10 fees!

And of course, this is one of the big reasons she also earned Recruiter of the Quarter honors for the fourth quarter of 2024!

As a reminder, Top Echelon determines the monthly and quarterly winners of its 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.

Congratulations to everybody who made the largest split fees in TE Network during the quarter!
