Fall Conference Pushes Back Virtual Core Group Schedule
During the second week of October, I’ll be in Chicago for the 2012 Top Echelon Network Fall Conference. Because I haven’t yet figured out to how to be in two places at once, I won’t be in Canton on the second Thursday of the month.
That’s significant because Thursday is typically the day that I hold Virtual Core Group (VCG) teleconference calls for Preferred Member recruiters of Top Echelon Network. As you might have already guessed, the Fall Conference is going to push back the upcoming VCG schedule.
The groups that normally have their calls on the second Thursday of the month (in this case, October 11) will now have them on the third Thursday of the month (October 18). Those groups are Aerospace/DOD, Software Sales, and Information Technology.
Virtual Core Group meetings are regularly scheduled conference calls for Preferred Member recruiters who work in the same industry or niche.
During these calls, recruiters share information about the activity they’re seeing in the market, they share hot job orders and candidates, and they also bounce ideas off one another. These are the activities that lead most directly to making split placements.
Below is the Virtual Core Group teleconference call schedule for the month of October (all times listed are Eastern Standard Time).
| Date | Core Group/Time | Core Group/Time | Core Group/Time |
| Thursday, October 4 |
Manufacturing, Engineering noon to 1 p.m. |
Accounting, Finance 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. |

If you think you’d like to start a new Virtual Core Group—or join an existing one—please contact me!
And I sincerely hope that I’ll see you at the Fall Conference next month . . . if I don’t, you can expect to hear about it from me. No kidding.
