How to Think (and Bill) Like a Top Producer in TE

What does it really take to become a recruiting rockstar?

At TE Connect Spring 2026, you’ll have the opportunity to find out, directly from some of the highest-performing recruiters in TE Network.

The Top Producers Panel is designed to give you an unfiltered look at how top billers consistently outperform, build powerful partnerships, and drive revenue year after year.

This isn’t theory. It’s real strategy from recruiters who are doing it at the highest level.

Join Amy Chapman of Key People Staffing; Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting; and Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc. for a candid, no-fluff discussion on how they actually use TE Network to win.

These are producers who have built repeatable success, and they’re “pulling back the curtain” on exactly how they do it.

How Top Producers Use the Network

One thing is clear: top producers don’t treat TE Network as a side tool. Instead, they make it central to their workflow.

In this session, you’ll learn which TE tools have had the biggest impact on their success and how they integrate the Network into their everyday recruiting process.

In addition, a major focus of the discussion will be the concept of Core Groups.

Top recruiters are intentional about who they work with and how often they connect. I’m talking about long-term relationships built upon trust, communication, and shared expectations.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to build and maintain a Core Group that drives consistent results.

Choosing the Right Jobs (and the Right Partners)

Not every job is worth working. Not every partner is the right fit.

This panel will break down how top producers evaluate opportunities, select trading partners, and decide where to invest their time. Just as importantly, they’ll share when and why they choose to step away.

Learning this level of discipline can be a game-changer for your productivity and profitability as a member of TE Network.

Beyond tactics, this session will dive into the mindset that separates top performers from the rest.

You’ll hear how successful recruiters think about being both importers and exporters, how they approach long-term relationships, and how they position TE Network as a competitive advantage with their clients and candidates.

Lessons You Can Apply Immediately

One of the most valuable aspects of this panel is the practical, actionable insight that you can take back to your recruiting desk. From avoiding common mistakes to adopting proven habits, you’ll gain strategies that can immediately improve how you work the Network.

If you’re serious about increasing your billings, strengthening your partnerships, and getting more out of TE Network, this is a session you won’t want to miss.

Top producers aren’t just working harder . . . they’re working smarter. This panel will show you how.
