Celebrating Big Wins and First-Time Success in TE

It’s another exciting week of placements in the Top Echelon Network, and we have plenty of reasons to celebrate.

First, congratulations to Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC and Andy Arnold of Overland Consulting LLC on an impressive split placement! The duo successfully placed a Director of HR, generating a $45,000 split placement fee at 30%! This is a great example of how collaboration and strong recruiting partnerships can lead to big results in the Network.

We’re also excited to recognize three recruiters who reached an important milestone by making their first placements in the Network. Congratulations to:

• Jason Hiemer of United Future
• Michael Zeno of Talent 1 Source
• Dan Regovich of AJ Augur Group, LLC

To make things even better, Michael and Dan made their first TE Network split . . . with one another. There’s nothing quite like celebrating that first Network placement, and we’re excited to see these recruiters get off to a great start. We look forward to seeing even more success from them in the future!

Congratulations are also in order for Keith Cornelison of Personnel Resources and Joe Matthews of Resurgent Medical. That’s because, as you can see below, they finalized not one, not two, but three split placements recently.

And of course, congratulations to all of this week’s recruiters on their accomplishments. Keep those placements coming!

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our split 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 November 2 through November 8, 2026.

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!
