More New Members Make Their First TE Split

Newer members continue to make their first placement in TE Network!

But before we get to that, I would be remiss if I did not mention that Teresa Pernini of Pernini Legal, LLC and Theo Bates of Archer Hires split the biggest recruiting fee of the placements listed below. (And the last thing I want to be is remiss.)

Teresa and Theo placed an Environmental Associate Attorney to earn a $55K fee at 25%.

Now . . . back to those newer members. Below are the recruiters who recently made their first split placement in TE Network:

  • Christian Hicks of Christian Hicks
  • Dianne Flory Intal of Success Matcher Recruitment, LLC
  • Thomas Trese of Tom Trese Networking LLC
  • Hue Polinski of Sun Recruiting, Inc.
  • Melissa Zuniga of Eden Capital Careers

With these placements—and the recruiters who made them—in mind, there is plenty of reason for optimism in the Network and the job market as we head into the second quarter of 2025!

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

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

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in TE Network for the period from March 10 through March 23, 2025.

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your split 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 TE Network!
