‘Comments’ and Compliments Extra: ‘It’s a Small World’

by Matthew Deutsch on 04.30.2012

“It’s a small world after all . . . it’s a small world after all . . . it’s a small world after all . . . it’s a small, small world.”

Okay, since that song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day, we can proceed.

It IS a small world, especially if you’re a recruiter. After all, you interact with people all the time, every day, and this installment of “‘Comments’ and Compliments” illustrates that perfectly.

It includes two Preferred Member recruiters who not only made a split placement together recently, but who also have a connection with another Preferred Member in Top Echelon Network . . . which, of course, makes it a small, small world.

The recruiters in question are Debra Stitt, CPC of Quality Source, Inc. of Ohio and Kim Kirby of Balanced Career Solutions, Inc. The other recruiter whose thread runs through the entire story: David J. Sgro of True North Consultants, Inc.

Stitt’s comments regarding the split placement are below, followed by Kirby’s. If you’d like to compliment a Trading Partner in a more extensive manner regarding a split placement, email your comments and information to marketing@TopEchelon.com.

“Making this split with Kim was AWESOME. She actually worked the order with me and presented several very viable candidates, many of whom made it at least to the phone screen stage. As it turns out, Kim and I have something in common. Dave Sgro, Sr. trained me in the biz, and Kim worked for him after I had left the firm. Small world! No wonder this one ‘fit like a glove.'”

Position Title—Human Resource Generalist
Fee Percentage—25%
