Let’s Pull Together in TE So That We Can Thrive

Now, more than ever, we need to pull together our resources in Top Echelon’s recruiting network.

There are definitely challenges in the job market at the moment. Hiring has slowed. Job orders are not flowing like honey like they did in 2022, during the height of the Great Resignation. And some candidates seem to be as obstinate as ever.

And then there’s the economy at large and world events, including inflation, interest rates, unrest in the Middle East, and an upcoming Presidential Election that could go down in the history books for all of the wrong reasons.

There’s so much uncertainty in the air, you can cut it with a knife. (Or in my case, a samurai sword.) and if there is one thing that the job market and the economy do NOT like, it’s uncertainty.

So what should you be doing? These things, among others:

• Run searches for candidates and jobs in the Top Echelon Network software. This includes the Network Candidates sourcing tool, which contains over eight million recruited candidates.
• Check your Alerts for matches.
• Call your trading partners and make things happen. Be proactive!

However, I do want to say one thing regarding jobs that you may have on the Network:

When one of the job orders you have posted on Top Echelon Network gets filled, please remove that job order from the Network immediately.

If you’re lax in doing this, then you greatly increase the chances that you’re going to waste the time of another well-intentioned recruiter. And that recruiter just wants to help you fill your search assignment.

Now, more than ever, every job in the Network should be open and active. That’s because now, more than ever, time is of the essence. Don’t waste your own time and don’t waste the time of other Top Echelon recruiters.

THIS is the time to connect with other recruiters and build activity. In fact, this is the time to generate more activity with your trading partners than you’ve ever generated as a member of Top Echelon Network.

At Top Echelon, we have not survived and thrived for 36 years by accident.

We have survived and thrived during both good times and bad times because the Network pulls together.

So share your jobs and candidates, call your trading partners, and make it happen!
