A Very, Merry $56,250 Split Recruiting Fee

Today is Christmas Eve! Tomorrow is Christmas!

And we have 12 more split placements in this issue of The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog!

Although all of them are merry, there is one that is VERY merry. That would be the split placement made by Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing and Chip Yaggi of Chip Yaggi.

Amy and Chip placed an Equipment Design Engineering Manager to earn a split recruiting fee of $56,250 at 25%.

Also in the holiday spirit are TE Network recrutiers Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC and Adam Krueger of Sun Recruiting, Inc. Maria and Adam placed a Product Engineer to score a big, fat 30% recruiting fee.

The total of that fee? The handsome sum of $36,000.

And last by certainly not least, we must highlight Steve Torosian of Forest Recruiting Group aka Affiliated Recruiters Network. That’s because Steve recently made his first split placement as a member of TE Network!

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 December 15 through December 21, 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!
