‘Comments’ and Compliments: the ‘Carolyn Barcus Edition’!

by Mark Demaree on 09.20.2011

It just so happens that in our ever-popular “Comments and Compliments” segment in The Pinnacle Newsletter Blog, themes and editions emerge periodically. These things aren’t planned; they just sort of happen all by themselves . . . which is what also makes them so much fun.

Well, that’s once again the case this week, as we have a pair of comments/compliments from the same Network recruiter regarding two separate Trading Partners and two different split placements. Not only that, but both placements involve the same type of job position. So really, how could we pass that up? We couldn’t, that’s how!

If you’d like to compliment your Trading Partner for a recent split placement (or placements), send your comments to marketing@TopEchelon.com.

“The candidate who referred [this candidate] interviewed with the manager and liked him, but accepted another position. He recommended [this candiate] directly to me and acted as a reference for him, as well. The only problem was convincing Kristin she deserved half of this fee!”

“Mike Cimer and Fowler Placement have an extraordinary number of good candidates shared in the system. Some are a little long in the tooth, but [Mike and Kim are] more than happy to update, get a new resume, or whatever else you ask [them] to help with. If you work Technology Sales and Support searches and are not checking out their shared candidates in the Split Candidate Database, you’re no doubt missing out on some placements.”
