Brad Dodge Leads the Pack in the First Quarter

Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting was the Recruiter of the Month for March, so . . . Brad is also the Recruiter of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2026!

Brad racked up 15 split placements during the first three months of the year, and those placements brought him a cash-in total of $146,887.07.

Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing, who has been hot on Brad’s heels for the past several months, finished in second place. She was part of six splits during the month, earning $93,812 in the process.

Below is the information that we include with the Recruiters of the Quarter feature in TE Network:

1. The top 10 recruiters for the quarter
2. The “cash-in” total for each recruiter during the quarter. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of “cash-in” dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they made during the quarter.)
3. The number of splits that the recruiters made during the quarter
4. The number of splits each recruiter has made during their TE Network career
5. Each recruiter’s cash-in total for their TE Network career

Congratulations to the recruiters listed below . . . and congratulations to every TE Network member who made a split placement (or multiple splits) during the quarter!
