Close Race for Recruiter of the Month in March

It was close, but Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting is once again the Recruiter of the Month in TE Network!

Brad barely beat another Top Producer and fellow Top Echelon Hall of Famer, Keith Cornelison of Personnel Resources, for the top spot in March. Both recruiters made three split placements, but Brad ultimately claimed victory by virtue of his cash-in amount for his three splits ($38,525.90 vs. $34,207.07.)

As if that wasn’t enough, Top Echelon’s 2025 Rookie of the Year, Kendra Arnold of A Plus Hire Right Search Group, LLC made three splits with trading partner Troy Randolph of Lea Randolph & Associates, Inc. in March. The cash-in total for both of those recruiters during the month was $27,847.50.

So while Brad is still the winner for March, his grip on the top spot is tenuous . . . so stay tuned and see what happens this month!

Here is the information that we include with the Recruiter of the Month feature in TE Network:

1. The top five (5) recruiters for the month.
2. The cash-in total for each recruiter during the month. (We base the order of the recruiters on their amount of cash-in dollars, as opposed to the number of split placements they’ve made.)
3. The number of splits that the recruiters made during the month.
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.

With this format, it’s more likely that there will be ties among recruiters, especially with those TE Network members who have made split placements with each other.

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