Hemminger and Strickland Lead the Way with 3 Splits

We’ve highlighted individual Top Echelon Network recruiters before for making three split placements in a single week. (Well, for finalizing three splits in one week, at the very least.)

However, we have two Network recruiters who finalized three splits with each other in a single week! Those recruiters are Maria Hemminger of MJ Recruiters, LLC and Jim Strickland of BioSource Recruiters.

Maria and Jim’s three splits generated a total of $70,345. Take away Top Echelon’s 6% brokerage fee and the total becomes $66,124.30.

And since it’s a split placement, both Maria and Jim’s recruiting agencies received $33,062.15 last week as a result of those three splits. In case you’re wondering, their agencies paid $33.75 for Network membership last week ($135 per month divided by four weeks).

Pay $33 and receive $33,000.

That . . . is a pretty good return on investment. We don’t even need a calculator to tell us that.

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our weekly placements:

  • Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
  • Job title
  • Overall placement fee (before TE’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
  • Fee percentage

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the period from June 19 through June 25, 2023.  

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your Network placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!
