Lou Michaels Associates: 28 Years in Top Echelon!

It’s not often that we have a Charter Member firm celebrating an anniversary in Top Echelon Network . . . but we have one this month!

That firm is Lou Michaels Associates, Inc., which joined the Network during the first year of its existence: 1988. Of course, back then Top Echelon Network was known as Nationwide Interchange Service, or NIS.

The recruiters of Lou Michaels Associates has made 273 placements in Top Echelon Network during the past 28 years. The president of the firm, Lou Michaels, has made 173 of those placements himself, generating a cash-in total of over $1.1 million.

(Lou Michaels is only one of two active Charter Members in the Network. Steve Brody of Executive Resource Systems is the other.)

Lou Michaels Associates is just one of four Network firms that are celebrating an anniversary of 20 years or more. Once of those firms—Continental Search & Outplacement, Inc.—has been responsible for 311 Network placements.

We want to thank and congratulate the recruiters of Lou Michaels Associates, Continental Search & Outplacement, and all of the recruiting firms celebrating an anniversary in Top Echelon Network this month!

(Editor’s note: Top Echelon recognizes firms celebrating five, 10, 15, and 20-year anniversaries, plus any firm celebrating an anniversary in excess of 20 years.)
